I am running a small embeded linux server based on a hacked NSLU2 (costs about $60). These sorts of personal servers are becoming popular.
Basically I have a small box (about the size of a dat tape) with a 80GB 2.5" HDD connected to it by USB2 which is connected onto my wireless router at home. It is silent and small. Specs are a 250Mhz ARM processor, 32Mb RAM On this box I run: - OpenSSH for remote access and IP tunnelling - Samba 3.x for sharing out files on the LAN - uPnP media server making available any MP3 / videos / pictures dropped into a given samba folder available to my Philips Streamium HiFi (via wireless LAN) - thttpd Webserver / MySQL / PHP5 (apache is available but it is heavy on this box) - IRC bouncer - dyndns update scipts etc Basically what I would like is a 'mini-exchange' for calendar data for the family, so for example my wife at home can see my calendar (and update it) and I can see her calendar (and update it) even when I am at work. We both use outlook 2003 to manage our personal mail (in PST files and IMAP) and I have an Exchange account at work.

What software are you using for your diary? Outlook lets you keep a Journal. Not sure if that does what you want. Does your diary support xml output?

Well Webcalander would need to support caldav. Or more likely need to be coupled with a caldav server. Perhaps you could contact the cosmo people and ask about alternative web interfaces to cosmo. The current web interface is called Scooby I believe. Having an interface for every piece of software out there defeats the purpose of a standard :) Charles ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
