->Suggestions to correct this with SuSE-supplied ->apps and servers would get another company ->switched over to Linux. Done. Out of the 70 people in my department 59 are using Linux w/ Mozilla or Evolution now. Two years ago when I joined my company Linux was banned as not secure. We have even gone so far as to setup our own lan off the corp. lan. And we share infor quite well. We have a web calendering system based on PHPGroupware SO everyone in every OS can access it via browser. The Outlook/Exchange need is a myth that people have bought into...and please don't talk about being a huge company with 1000's of people and a need for it. My time working for Anheuser-Busch and Monsanto..two very large companies makes very aware of large Exchange environments and how hard they are to maintain. I was also part of the team who took both companies to Exchange from Lotus Notes. The decision wasn't that of the IT dept. or anything technical. It was the PHB's upstairs who got sold on it..it was more of " The guy I play golf with has this so I must have it. " type of decision. They knew nothing about it. I've see these systems go down hard and we had Microsoft people onsite for this shit. I have since (3 1/2 years ago) made a choice not to work with such software. The email systems that we have at my current employer are Sendmail/Solaris and pump out about 1.5B emails a week and haven't been rebooted since Feb 2002 when we patched them one by one. Our PHPGroupware box has been up since January of this year when it was configured. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
