FWIW, I've been down this road a few times. Every time we've looked into a Linux-based groupware solution, the cost has worked out to more than we could buy Exchange for. That, combined with the fact that no Linux solution offers full integration with Outlook, has left me settling on Exchange. Be careful before you deploy a Linux groupware solution in a Windows-centric enterprise. Make sure you can live without some of the features and functionality that Outlook/Exchange provides. Now I'll duck the beer cans. :-)
