Does anyone know of any good calendering/collaboration packages for SuSe. I am not necessarily looking for free software, but something that can provide much of the functionality of MS Exchange. I have been give the option of replacing our corporate mail with a Unix based solution, which I intend to use SuSe 7.0 for. btw: Is Netscape's Calendar server ported to Linux? I saw you could only download HP-UX, Windows NT, and Solaris versions. I looked throughout the site but could not find documentation listing supported platforms. Thankx, CC

I'm not sure about the current availability status, but HP has something called Openmail that is an MS Exchange drop-in replacement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns jkarns@csd.net
Hi guys, Im running 7.1 prof and Xfree 4 . When ever i use a program that uses mesa it uses the software driver and not my voodoo2. When i setup my graphics using yast2 i told it to load the 3d stuff for my voodoo2 card but it doesn't seem to be working properly. If I do a 3dinfo i get 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. 3Dfx 3Dfx Voodoo2 (121a@0002):4::16::::dev3dfx,mesa3dfx,glide_v2:switch2mesa3dfx What am I doing wrong? Cheers, Glenn ps luv 7.1 :)

I did read something about this, I think it was Linux World. That's why I mentioned the current availability. It's really too bad that these companies just can't seem to realize that in the long run there is no real co-existence with MS. They want it all and won't stop until and unless someone (i.e., the Linux community) stops them. At any rate, perhaps there may be some folks who wish to use the pkg regardless, at least maybe for the short term. Has it been removed from the 'net for DL? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns jkarns@csd.net

I DL'd it (version 6)! It was free for use up to I think 50 nodes. I would have to check. I never installed because I didn't want to recommend or encourage the use of Outlook since it's vulnerable to attack. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns jkarns@csd.net

I took a look at the site earlier today, and your right in the above, but only as it pertains to linux (but then why use anything else <grin>). All the other OS's as far as I can tell require purchase, or did I read it wrong?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that Openmail is a replacement for MS Exchange. These are both messaging server pkgs which are designed to work with MS Outlook clients. So if you use a Linux server in a LAN where you have MSW clients using Outlook, you can use Openmail on you Linux server. Furthermore, if your LAN is less than 50 nodes, the licensing fee is optional. So I presume you are saying that if one has plans of replacing Exchange on an NT (gasp) platform for example, that the above would not apply? Yet another instance of having to pay a license fee for every last piece of software that runs on an MS platform. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns jkarns@csd.net

But either version, cleint or server is accessible by the others server or client. That's how I read it, in reference to the licensing fee. Just think how much cheaper that would be then NT with Exchange server software as well as the licensing that goes with it to accept your 50 users. jk> So I presume you are saying that if one has plans of replacing Exchange on jk> an NT (gasp) platform for example, that the above would not apply?
