KraetziChriZ, RSCS is deadly easy, just follow installing instructions
on their webpage (http://rscds.sourceforge.net/installation.php),
actually you have to issue just few commands under user 'postgres' (this
is how postgres authentification in command line works) and you are
done. Also Postgresql on Ubuntu when installed is configured and all in
fact you need is to change permissions in pg_hba.conf, which is kinda
good, because you can't be careless about security. Keep in mind to add
requested row in manual as first, because default is to deny any kind of
access from local box without having local user.

But RSCDS didn't work with Evolution for last few versions. However, I
came up with a fix after long and stubborn debbuging sessions, which is
very easy one (if you are not afraid from fixing and compiling new e-d-s
deb for you or want to enable it for other distro, follow here
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514487). I will push it to be
included in 2.22.

Testing RSCDS with fixed Evo, it is a bliss. True integration with rest
of bunch - Thunderbird with Lightning, Sunbird, etc.

Keep in mind that what CalDAV server you use is important, because their
support for various clients and technology differs heavily. Most of free
software caldav clients won't work reliably with Apple Calendar Server,
because it extensively uses their extentions, and so it is very fragile
and verbose (It doesn't like time zone stuff time to time). Also for
some reason only Basic auth works with it. RSCDS, however, works with
Diggest without big problems, and you can enable SSL there too, as it
uses Apache as HTTP engine.
