Yes, Zimbra is a collaboration suite or in another term, a groupware,
but there is a reason why it would not run on openSUSE 11.x (10.2 and
10.3 would run with minor changes). openSUSE 11.x failed to run Zimbra
and it was my main reason to pick an openFATE request.

Thank you for an email response, but have you tried it by yourself ?
I've tried it and it failed in first attempt and at the end it was
successfully solved after a few trial & error.

My email just want to reconfirmed that Zimbra finally could be
installed on openSUSE 11.x by replacing perl package bundling on
Zimbra with openSUSE perl package. Anyone who tried to running Zimbra
on openSUSE 11.x or Ubuntu 8.10 & 9.04 or any distro with Perl 5.10
bundled may have disagree with you. If it SHOULD BE, maybe, but if you
have try it, you may have different response :-)
