Yes, that's a sad story. SLOX (SuSE Linux OpenXchange) was very promising.
But this hasn't gone anywhere, didn't drop from the face of the

either. It's being actively developed further. It's quite good, too.
Silviu,
yes, that's right... it still exists and I was following it since Novell gave it back to NetLine (who already coded SLOX to be fair).
Novell didn't give it back to NetLine, it was always NetLine's. SLOX was a collaboration between NetLine and SUSE. The Groupware part was NetLine's and the OS part was SUSE's. And they were nicely integrated.
But it seemed like the development did not go really forward
But it very much did. They have released a major new version: Openexchange 5.
and especially the installation procedure is far behind of what slox offered (ok: it was an integrated OS-Solution, but very well done).
The installation procedure is very much tolerable. It's a script that installs some rpms. Pretty straight forward. One note: I have installed the commercially supported version. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's the difference. The "free" version doesn't have something like that. You have to do everything manually and OX5 evolved while the free version is still the same as "years" ago AFAIK. So if you use it commercially and can pay for it, it's still a good product I think but I wonder if it's an alternative for private users.

What would private users do with a Groupware server? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
