Yah, supposedly it can run on RHEL (or the equivalent CentOS), or
OpenSuSE.  Right now I'm just checking out Groupware systems.  Zimbra
(http://www.zimbra.com) has a very nice open source suite that works
very well and is a quick install as well, I'm partial to it (plus it
provides it's own LDAP server for integration with other applications /
hosts).

>From my experience Scalix has it's own issues, like being a horrible
kludge of over 275 binaries and continuous system errors.  But from what
I hear it's getting better.  Plugins are a bad mark in my book as well
-- who wants to maintain the plug-in on all the desktops in your network?

What other packages out there are you familiar with?

Ronnie
