Unfortunately, Tor is right. Anyone who monitors a Lotus Notes shop for any length of time knows it's the groupware suite from hell.....prone to server crashes and slowdowns, and just generally sludgy. One hopes and prays for an open source alternative, but, as Tor alludes to, the conception, design, coding and debugging of good groupware is a major undertaking. One hopes for the further "networked" evolution of Magellan and KOrganizer, and StarOffice might be a good candidate now that it is open sourced (for those who will say SO is bloated, it is, but groupware, with all the features business requires of it, may be doomed to be bloated anyway).
I'd just be happy if StarOffice moved faster than a glacier. ;) It's basically impossible to run on anything less than a P2 333. I've tried to run it on my WinNT4.0 and Win98 boxes, and it's pretty sludgy there. Of course, they "only" had 64 MB of RAM. YMMV. Star Office seems to crash on me regularly under WIndows. :( -- Don't look at me, I took the red pill! -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
