>From your mails I still don't understand if you have client linux boxes |
| 15 |
where you want to run Outlook, or you have a linux server box where you want |
| 16 |
to place the shared calendar, with Outlook clients. Anyway, for each |
| 17 |
situation: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
1. Windows Server running Exchange with Linux clients running Outlook: you |
| 20 |
need some piece of software that lets you run Outlook on Linux. You may try |
| 21 |
Wine, CrossOver Linux (from CodeWeavers)... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
2. Server running Linux with Windows clients running Outlook: you need a |
| 24 |
groupware server that lets you use Outlook as a client. OpenGroupware and |
| 25 |
Kolab comes to mind, there are commercial plugins that lets you connect |
| 26 |
Outlook to both of them. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
3. Neither of the two above: if what you really want to do is to share |
| 29 |
calendars, but you may have linux on the server and client side and use |
| 30 |
other software instead of Outlook, take a look at the list of supported |
| 31 |
clients for the groupware server you choose. Novell Evolution and KDE |
| 32 |
Kontact are both groupware clients with similar interface and functionality |
| 33 |
resembling Outlook, and they can connect to OpenGroupware and Kolab IIRC. |
