Hello Dorset Linux folk,

I'd just like to publicise a project a couple of us EdLuggers have
been working on, which may be of interest to you Linux server hackers
out there;

- Server Circle - ask and answer server questions
www.servercircle.com
Server Circle - Ask experts technical questions about anything Server
related and earn reputation points or even financial rewards when you
answer questions about Server problems.
- Server Circle - ask and answer server questions

There's a lot of Linux server QA activity on the site already.

So, we hope this is of interest, do come visit, sign up, ask and
answer questions, and get invovled!

Follow us on Twitter @ServerCircle

:-)

Regards,

P

A bit of a review light, no real mention of where liber office came
from or the range of
applications it packs.  The one thing which stops some organisations
switching wholesale
is the lack of an Outlook'ish mail/PIM client.   I have tried to get
people using Thunderbird
with Lightning CalDav but it just ain't Outlook - sigh
