you need all the packages. (which is easily scripted, btw). the reason is that Kolab runs in its own little self-contained world for various reasons (Kolab-specific patches applied to various bits and nibbles, portability between OSes, etc...) > Kolab appears to be the poster-child example of the worst (or best) way to > scare off potential deployments in a corporate environment and to encourage > general acceptance. there is very good installation documentation available, you just have to follow it =) we'll cover this at the presentation next week... the main issue is that Kolab is very new and quite a complex bit of software (though using it is stupid-simple =). much like a vanilla from-scratch kernel compile is not something for the novice, neither is a vanilla from-scratch install of Kolab. fortunately distros are starting to package it up so installation is as simple as "rpm -Uvh" (or selecting it from the GUI =) and there are a number of consultants who can, and will, provide assistance. you can also use OpenPKG to install, or purchase a CD of binaries for RH or Debian from Source Extreme for (IIRC) US$80. Andy and I are hoping to help solve some of the "discouragement" issues surrounding Kolab in the local areas, and this presentation is one step in that direction. there are others doing the same sort of things elsewhere as well, so there is hope =) > But I am certainly willing to give it a chance, > depending on how long and how much effort it takes to get it running. if you know what you're doing, it's pretty straight forward. > There are a couple more solutions I might look at as well. is eGroupWare is among these? the list of "usual suspects" usually includes: eGroupWare, OpenGroupware, Bynari Insight, Samsung Contact, Groupwise, Notes ... there are a couple other HP OpenMail spawn in addition to Samsung Contact, but i can't remember their names ATM (they are all relatively small).... - -- Aaron J.
