I was talking with an Ximian sales person about how to purchase Ximian Connector 1.4. I need this product at my work place in order to interface with the corporate e-mail/calendar server M$ Outlook Exchange. I also had need Evolution 1.4 in order to use the companion Connector product. Both of these products are available for download from Ximian, but not in Debian packages. This sales person stated something to the effect that starting with v1.4, Ximian would no longer support Debian. Further, their products would "no longer run on Debian systems" no matter how I hacked them with alien, etc. He also tried to explain this new policy as something to do with "corporate America", etc. Can anyone confirm this ? This makes no sense to me. First, why would Ximian cut off Debian ? Debian is a strong supporter of gnome which Ximian depends on. Second, how could the product not work anyway provided all the supporting Linux libraries were also loaded ? Do they have some type of check to see if I am running RedHat before Connector will run ?
