I already use vbox (there are currently 3 Fedora instances running in |
| 23 |
vbox vm's on the gentoo box I am using to type this att and then there |
| 24 |
is vmware on my laptop for work uses and qemu at home - for Fedora and |
| 25 |
windows on gentoo :), however, running another operating system just to |
| 26 |
read exchange email/calendaring (work nonsense!) - might just as well |
| 27 |
give up and run windows and outlook in a vm. I am currently using |
| 28 |
davmail to interface evo 2.26.3 to exchange and it works reasonably |
| 29 |
well, but again I am hoping to use the advances in later evo versions to |
| 30 |
go direct and not via a connector. |
