For what it's worth, Outlook can handle basic appointments and meeting requests without any server support at all. You only need server support if you need free/busy information. How many users do you need to support? Scalix Server has full Outlook support for up to 25 people in its free Community Edition: http://www.scalix.com/ If you want to run it on OpenSUSE, though, you'll need to use OpenSUSE 10.1. 10.2 has a Python version that's too new for the current Scalix packages. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] group ware info
I have a request from a few users wanting to have some of the features of ms exchange email server. I do not need it for email because we outsource our email to a third party, its cheaper for them to host it our 40 uers then it would be for me to run something in house. What some of the folks want are a share calendar an address book feature. Is there something out that that will let me have that with out using alll the features. i need for this to be free or very low cost, ( no budget for it at the moment). I have a operate on a shoe string budget here, we have a few old codgers on the board that watch what we spend in the computer / software area an they grip if I spend too much money or they think im spending too much. At the moment I have suse 8 or 8.2 on my main server, not had a need to upgrade the production server an its running good. I'm fixing to install 10.2 on my backup server an get it going agian an I host this on that machine when I have up an running. A shared address book would have been handy today had a tough time getting some address one guy had to export out of outlook an import back into outlook on another person computer with out it messing things up. I know you will say go away from outlook but that is not going to happen for some people. I'm still using eudora on my windows machine here at work an grudgely dragging my feet finding something else now that eudora has quit production Eudara as it is today. Thanks for the info.

Maybe it will work out ok even though I want be using it for email, just the calendaring an contact list sharing. Need to read thrue docs on it when I get a chance , my to do list is pretty full at the moment an might be a week or so before I get to it. Again thanks for info.

Jack, As one East Texan to another: (1) you're crazy for not running your own mail server, it is relatively easy and free; and (2) www.egroupware.org I have tried the other groupware solutions and egroupware seems the most mature, it is actively developed, and integrates, calendar, addressbook, projects, timesheets, email, calls, notes and todo's. It takes a little playing with to get it figured out, but once you do, you really start to appreciate all of the great work and smart design that has gone into the project. Inport and export features work well and all of your data is stored in mysql. It has an excellent backup system built in that makes protecting you data easy. Upgrading when new releases arrive is a simple as uncompressing the new tarball and copying a few (as few as 1) to the new filesystem. -- David C.
