Geek-Male had been in production release for some time,  Geek-Female is 
still in beta test (see www.linuxchic.org).  It isn't really an issue of 
the package itself,  but there are serious interoperability problems 
between the Geek-Male and Geek-Female packages.  Many of these are simply 
inherited, as Geek-Mail and Geek-Female are derived from the Male and 
Female code base, respectively.  The problems between those base packages 
are legendary.  Maybe .Net will help this out.

Once they are installed it typically works reliably.  Getting it 
installed, and dealing with tech support, can be a pain.  The price is 
also pretty high for what they offer in the way of services.

Have you checked at speakeasy.net to see if you can go through them 
instead?
