Outlook clients and Linux Debian
Hi, I have at the office a part of Windows users using Outlook ... others are under Gnu/Linux Debian ... all the services (mail, files server, printer servers are under linux) ... My Outlook users would like to share their calendars ... in fact when one make an appointment in his calendar with another guy he wants to know if the other guy have or not an appointment at the same time ... For this the classical solution should be to add an exchange server ... but you might understand that I don't want to do this ... What kind of solution could I find to this stuff under a Debian Linux service ? Thanks per advance for your answers ... -- Bill -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What version of Windows has this functionality? May be because that's a specific thing for European version, but for us in France Windows 95/98/98SE had this option by default ... and for Windows 2000/XP we have to check an option in the Keyboard parameters ...

Which hardware constructors for Debian ? :o(
Hi all, Which constructor for Debian ... ? We are a french company and we have some clients interested in our developments ... We make some developments exclusively on Debian. One of our major clients needs a big hardware configuration : something like 4 To of hard disk for a web site application, serving about 40 millions pages a day ... So you can imagine the hardware configuration needed ! We used to work with Dell, or Hewlett-Packard, but with smaller configurations ... As usual, we called them to get some proposals of such hardware configurations ... Here we need both speed and lots of disk space ... Dell told us, that we could use a fiber solution made by Emc constructor and sold by Dell. OK, why not ?! Trouble is that Dell does not want us to run it in a Debian environment... Official reason is : "Impossible to get a support for this kind of products, if you are using a Debian OS ... this solution is only certified for Red Hat Advanced Server ! and may be Suse, but we are in a testing process..." So what can we do ? Dell's answer : "Use Red Hat and nothing else." :o(( Which means that we have to buy 150 000 euro machine (+/- the same in dollars) and face all the risks in case of troubles, without any support from Dell ... For information, last January I went to Paris Linux Expo and talked to Dell's representant who made it clear : no support for Debian with Dell's machines ... never !! because Debian, unlike Red Hat or Suse, is not a real company... so impossible for Dell to have someone to negotiate with to get a real support and no one to take to court, if things happen to turn badly ... you see what I mean ... :o( Then we called Hewlett-Packard (we have about 10 servers from them in production in a Debian environment) and we have learned recently that Hewlett-Packard has started to support Debian project (official announce seen in Decembre 2003) ... So why haven't we thought of them before ... ?? ;o) So, we called HP-France and the answer was straight-forward : "No, Hewlett-Packard does not support Debian for the moment ... where have you seen that ?!! Red Hat, Suse and United Linux are the only supported distributions !" ... Hugh !? So what could we do ? Does anyone is currently using such a configuration in a Debian environment ? Could anyone help us in finding a good hardware configuration, and/or some good contacts working for those constructors or any others to get an agreement for Debian use ? Does the Debian team could help us with Hewlett-Packard ... if it's true that Hewlett-Packard is supporting Debian ?

Re: Font Mystery
Steven, Did you also loosed the Fixed[Sony] and Fixed[Jis] fonts ?? Since I have updated from Woody to SID ... I have the same trouble of you, and I also loosed those fonts but only under KDE ... I can choose them with xemacs ... but impossible under KDE ??! My font under Konsole is really ugly ... and I have also loosed the Helvetica font :o(( Could it be in relation with the bug detailed here ? http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/2004/debian-qt-kde-200402/msg00027.html I have reproduced also this trouble under GNOME in my 3 PC configurations under SID after the migration from Woody ... :o( And no solution of the moment ... including testing the x-font guide from here : http://egads.ertius.org/~rob/font_guide.txt Regards, Le Mercredi 4 Février 2004 05:01, Steven Leach a écrit : > Oh, more info that I forgot to add and a correction: > > First, just a correction, it is Mozilla and Epiphany that are > displaying fonts incorrectly on the dysfunctional installation, > firebird works just fine (I had mistakingly written that it was Mozilla > and Firebird both). on the "testing" installation, all three are just > fine. > > Also, on the installation that is working all fonts are listed > correctly in the font menus (ie "Georgia", "Courier New", etc...) on > the dysfunctional installation they show up as adobe-courier-iso8859-1 > or microsoft-georgia-iso8859-15 etc. etc. except for in Firebird where > they are also rendered correctly. > > > highly baffled -- Hervé -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've installed the fixed font but X doesn't want to load it (I can't > see it under KDE). I think we have the same trouble ... I have upgraded recently from woody to unstable ...

I have also this ... not many times ... but regulary in the log ... > So if anybody here can tell me how to correct these stuffs ;) For the moment ... I have solved my trouble with Helvetica ... but just removing the comments in the /etc/fonts/local.conf of the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts Like this I get the Helvetica font again in the list ... but the font is not like before with the woody ... seems to be antialiased ... but not beautiful on the screen ... :o( (and the aliasing option is uncheck in the KDE options) If anyone have an idea to get back Helvetica in good look, and also my favorites Fixed font ...
