Re: [SLUG] Linux Exchange Alternative
A big vote for Zimbra community edition here. Or you can also pay for support. Doesn't replace AD, but for groupware, works a treat.

Hi Edwin, http://www.zentyal.org/ is what I found, but I haven't used it.

Re: [SLUG] Linux Exchange Alternative
Hi Edwin, I did this for a client in the last few weeks. This might not be a perfect match to your question but in the end we selected Lightning Calendar for firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/projects/calendar/ It's turned out perfect for our users, because it is just an extension that runs inside Thunderbird and doesn't require a Server. I came across a distro that does exactly what you are asking for. I will try to find it in my browser history.

[SLUG] Linux Exchange Alternative
G'day all. Some time ago I had a look at a Linux alternative to M$ Exchange - I seem to recall that it had been started by HP, then handed over to someone else. It was commercial software (paid) but a realistic alternative to Exchange. I have a client with 6 PCs using Outlook, who now needs an Exchange SErver, and is willing to look at a Linux alternative, but I now can't find the software i remember. There seem to be several others, so I wonder: what does everybody think is the best option (especially in terms of ease of installation and configuration). The main goal is Outlook-based shared calendaring. -- Regards, Edwin Humphries Mobile: 0419 233 051 NetSense Computers (Ironstone Technology Pty Ltd) <>-- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
