[Gllug] Escaping Exchange (was: Take a look at my photos on Facebook)

[Neil Tancock]

Hiya guys, I'm a newb to the list and this is my first post!

This isn't exactly Linux/GPL solution, but have you looked at workgroup
share?  It provides some exchange services (inc calendaring) on a
peer-to-peer basis.  I've implemented it a few times and although it's a
commercial product, it's a lot less expensive than Exchange and might give
you the filler you need until you can find a proper solution?

On an Exchange replacement note, I've been asked to install Zimbra for a
client next week - does anyone have any thoughts on Zimbra or an
alternative?  What's a good OS to put it on?  Is there an ISO version.....
:-)

Many thanks,



-Neil

On a related note, does anyone have experience escaping Exchange's
shared calendaring?  This is the only feature that binds me to
an M$ license at present, as the office I work in use this feature
heavily to coordinate events.
