Exchange killer? OpenGroupware.org

OpenGroupware is a good idea in theory, just like Evolution....however this software really only appeals to hardcore Linux/BSD geeks who are M$ haters. Corporations will continue to use Exchange for many more years to come as they have the money and the IT/IS groups to actually setup and configure exchange correctly and they don't have to worry about groups like SCO coming forward and bitching about non-stolen code issues.

Corporations also prefer better safe than sorry and I don't blame them. You don't want to have to wait for an unknown programmer to fix an issue with OpenGroupware when they can get a hold of an engineer at M$ to correct/patch whatever for them. Moreover, Outlook runs pretty damn smooth connected to an Exchange server...you can't expect 100% interoperability with an open source server with a closed source client.

There is already an Exchange killer available. Has been for years. Lotus Notes with Lotus Domino.

Very mature, very stable, used widely AND runs on Linux too.

Check it out, you'll be impressed. Of course... it's not free. But compared to Exchange, it's a deal. No OS license fees...

heya - i am new to cpanel - but have been doing things via command line for a while on my own mandrake box...

groupware is a big thing for our new company, we currently use thunderbird/sunbird/open-office/miranda/skype as essential business tools- opengroupware would be the cherry on the cake

i am wondering - how difficult would it be to install opengroupware on a cpanel reseller account i have?

cheers
