RE: [suse-linux-uk-schools] it can be done - linux in primary sch ools

You want to see primary school apps? Have a look at gcompris http://www.ofset.org/gcompris/ or better still, download FREEDUC http://www.ofset.org/projects/edusoft/edusoft.html and run it all straight from boot CD (do press F2 at boot though, unless your French is good). Trust me, it's worth the download/burn time. And anyone comes up with an idea for a puzzle for gcompris, and doesn't have the development skills, I've got developers lined up for a go...

RE: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Linux version of Exchange?
by Chris Puttick 08 Jan '03

Many products can reproduce Exchange calendar functionality as Outlook can publish the free-busy information, which can then be utilised by a number of solutions. Have a look at the Horde project (horde.org) for starters. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Johnson To: SuSe Sent: 1/8/03 6:43 PM Subject: Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Linux version of Exchange? --- Gareth Edmondson <gareth(a)indigo-cube.co.uk> wrote: > Hi, > > Does anyone know of a Linux product (free) that can > replicate the functions > of MS Exchange, and then go on to work with either > OUtlook Express or > Outlook 2K?

It's not Exchange... It uses a browser for access. Not sure if it'll help. I'll monitor this thread to see if there's something better that crops up. -- Matt Johnson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

KMySql

Happy New Year all: Does anyone know if there are any plans to update KMySql for KDE3? I know there are some good alternatives but thought this would be more user friendly for younger students. Paul
