There are no official builds for SuSE, and the community builds appear to have issues with pushing out recent updates (cf. yesterday's thread by Frank Schneider). As for the others, no idea, I haven't used SOGo on anything but Debian. That will probably boil down to personal preference. > I would prefer graphical or at least menu driven help for setting > up the OS and the base services (SMTP, IMAP, OpenLDAP, Postgres). > OpenSuSE has a good tool (Yast) for that purpose.

Debian/Ubuntu have a menu-driven configuration framework for some services like SMTP servers, but that's about it. Everything else is third-party and not guaranteed to work. > For the base components ... > - Cyrus or Dovecot? > - Postfix or Sendmail? > Has one significant advantages over the one? SOGo is fairly agnostic about the mail infrastructure, this will depend on your other requirements. For testing, Dovecot+Postfix should suffice, as far as I know. > Actually, it would be great if I could simply use the ready to > use Sogo virtual appliance ... but the one available for download > is SO outdated ... There haven't been that many user-visible changes since the ZEG's version, apart from tons of bugfixes.
