[SLUG] OT Open Source CRM Package
Hi all, Sorry to bother all of you. I hope that you might have a solution for me regarding the below. We are looking for an Open Source CRM package that will take all e-mails from Microsoft Outlook and export the mail folders from them into the CRM package and have all the e-mails stored on the server so that all customer details will be on the server. On the CRM package there can be levels of security so that the md's data and the data for the staff are separate.

Re: [SLUG] Outputing progress counters with PHP/HTML
You do a select before every insert?! Is the table indexed? If not that might explain the slowdown; a select WILL take longer the bigger the table. Perhaps better to put a unique index on the appropriate column(s), then just do an insert and throw away the error if the data is already there. Yes, even better! I was going to ask Howard whether it mattered whether the data was different or whether it just had to be one of them. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Seems that you have 2 issues here: 1) getting the emails from Outlook 2) an Open Source CRM For 1), what details do want? Email address only? All email to that customer? Name? Is the email stored in .pst files on each user's workstation, or up on an Exchange server? If on an Exchange server, one way to access the emails would be to enable IMAP and get at the data via a perl script For 2) don't know. But I seem to remember Sridar posting about a package a few days ago. -- Thanks, . Sonia Hamilton http://www.snowfrog.net http://training.snowfrog.net http://www.linkedin.com/in/soniahamilton .

Re: [SLUG] Backup from Windows files to Linux
hi everybody ! in answer to question how to back up files from a Windows 2003 Small Business Server ? i would suggest, in addition to your solutions, to try bacula, from http://www.bacula.org , which runs pretty on every system, with GUIs and web interfaces, a great solution. another would be FREENAS , an entire Linux OS dedicated to backups. from http://www.freenas.org/ it runs also on a virtual machine or obviously installed, and is great since it integrates in Active Diretory, seamless RAID configuration, and rsync, whose clients are available also for windows. so, both solutions are good candidates to a backup machine, which acts as NAS, and can inherit AD policies. you can then automate (also by GUIs) your policies, but sure, a little scripting can always help !! bye and sorry for late posting, HTH however.

Thanks Re: [SLUG] NTFS HD, chkdsk and ntfsresize?
Thanks for the reply Amos Prior to your advice I tried G4L but stuffed it by reversing Source/Target . Dont know what data I lost ( Home PC), but nothing irreplaceable I think. Oh well, at least I now have an empty 120gb SATA HD that I can reformat for Linux. Thanks again Bill Subject: Re: [SLUG] NTFS HD, chkdsk and ntfsresize?

Is it safe to use sudo ntfsresize --force -s 43896M /dev/sda1 or do I risk losing my data? You should first resize the partition in the partition table (using fdisk, delete then re-create the partition, change its type to 7 (NTFS)), have you done that? After that is done, ntfsresize will by default automatically resize the file system to occupy the entire partition (see the bottom of the output from running ntfsresize without arguments). --Amos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
