Would you like any fries with that? :-) Seriously, as far as I know there are no Linux based solutions that will completely replace an Exchange server (not even commercial ones). You can do the mail server + webmail + imap/pop bit quite easily, but shared calendaring (not to mention shared notes) is the tricky bit. There are a few commercial solutions out there that could manage *most* of your requirements. Have a look at: http://www.suse.com/us/business/products/openexchange/ The above is the most affordable solution I found at the time when I was researching. It uses Cyrus as the IMAP/POP server and it has a web interface to manage it all. Can do shared calendaring, shared mail folders and it has an Outlook connector.

Hi, We are using CommuniGate Pro from Stalker (http://www.stalker.com) We are running it on Redhat 8.0. They recommend you don't use RH9. It's not free. We have 50 users. It cost us USD499 for one server with 50 users and plus USD1,199 for 50 Outlook (MAPI connector) users. It does mail, calendars, notes etc. Also there is a web interface that lets you have access to all these features. The main things missing are forms and delegation. Stalker has been selling the MAPI connector for only about a year so there are a few quirks. It seems to be maturing nicely though. The server software is quite mature and hasn't given us any trouble. Feel free to contact me off the list if you want any more information.

[SLUG] Phantom NFS mount
Hi all, This is a continuation of a problem I was having before, where directory is exported via NFS but when it is mounted on another machine gives an old copy of the directory. I think I know what is happening but not the cure! The directory in question is /var/auc/course, but I have just realised that in fact there is a second (IDE B) drive mounted at /var/auc/course (I ran out of room on the old disk and simply copied the data to the new disk and then mounted it). I believe that what I am seeing on the NFS share is the original directory from the first IDE drive. I can't unmount at the moment and see, as this would bring down a particularly busy system, need to give 24 hours notice! Does this sound logical? If so is there a way I can get the NFS mount to see the real data on the second IDE drive? -- Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Seems simple enough...
Starting from the desktop, 1) Go into command line 2) Set font to required (ie., large) size 3) Maximise the page 4) Do whatever has to be done 5) Exit and log right out Next session, after the password, I'd like to begin at 4) There must be a way to do this. Any help, please?

Any help, please? If you're using gnome, then you can probably start a gnome-terminal, set it up how you like it and log out with the Save current setup checkbox ticked. Next time you log in Gnome should have restored it to the way you had it. If you're old-skool like me and using a straight xterm though, you can set the font with the -fn command line option (use xfontsel to find the name of the font you need) -- you'll be able to specify the font size there. I don't know a way to maximise windows from the cmd line, but the -geometry flag can probably be persuaded to do something close to what you want to do. Then, you just put this command that you've constructed into your session. So, running gnome-session-properties, or putting it in your .xsession or something. It depends on what sort of desktop you're using.

Re: [SLUG] Trouble finding Linux

Live CDs like Knoppix and Morphix often probe for- and put icons on the desktop for- existing hard drive partitions. It won't deliberately touch them, but if you open those partitions and muck with them, then yes, you can make a mess. So, leave the hard drive alone and you'll be fine :) AfC -- Andrew Frederick Cowie Operational Dynamics Consulting Pty Ltd Australia: +61 2 9977 6866 North America: +1 646 472 5054 http://www.operationaldynamics.com/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] RAID
Hi all, I'm intending to setup RAID on my home workstation for the first time ever tonight. It will be a fresh install on a pair of 160GB SATA drives. I have a couple of questions for the RAID gurus out there. I've got CDs for Mandrake 9.2 and Fedora Core 1 -- are either of these two easier from the perspective of setting up RAID at install time? I've heard that FC1 does this. I have no idea if the Mandrake installer does, though the docs on diskdrake claim that it does have RAID support. I'll look into the details if it turns out I'm forced to do this, but I'd like to know in advance how hard it is to turn a standard single-drive install into a RAID system. Any ideas? I assume this involves running one of the drives in failed state or similar. What's the deal with swap? I'd prefer for a failed drive not to take my machine down, and swap is a potential problem there, though I could probably accept it killing processes that happen to be swapped out. Is Linux's (I'll be running a 2.6 kernel just as soon as I've got everything setup) swap support smart enough to detect dead drives and kill processes swapped on those drives, or will have to do RAID swap as well? Finally, my motherboard (an Abit IIRC) claims to have an on-board Highpoint hardware RAID controller. Is there any compelling reason to use this vs software RAID? Is the RAID on-disk format standardised between controllers? (ie if I do use hardware RAID, will I have issues moving these drives to another computer?)
