[KLUG Members] New LINUX products

[Scott Van Singel]

I am looking for the complete package as for Linux and email goes. 
I am using Exchange 2000 with Outlook at the clients on the machines. If there was anyway I could replace to Desktop os and use linux on the machines and servers we could save tons of money. 
I do want to keep the same functions as Exchange. IE.  
A email client
Able to use contacts
make calendar events
share emails
share docs. 

Does open office with other servers give you this function.

He is actually looking for groupware ***backends*** as I recall,  not 
strictly e-mail.  

For email there is sendmail+cyrus-map,  the ultimate solution.  But it 
doesn't do anything for calendering, etc....

And there are lots of groupware front ends (moregroupware.org, 
phpgroupware.org, etc....) but those don't support groupware ***clients*** 
like Outlook, etc...  

He specifically wants a back-end, and Exchange killer.

Commercial ones exist, such as Samsung Connect and Bynari,  but nothing 
(AFIAK) from the Open Source community.

PHP Groupware has theoretically developed an XML-RPC API that could serve 
as the basis for a backend,  and this is what the OO people are looking at 
the most.    But currently that is vapor ware.
