eGroupeware, especially Idots2, look very interesting indeed. But I would guess KDE's tight integration with Kolab must give it an edge. Depends on the customer's needs. Kolab2/Kontact seem quite impressive (testing it "as we speak") as a rich-client solution, though I'm not aware of a windows-client support. It has AD integartion and resource sharing, though I'm not sure I can test all aspects (with KDE 3.4), and I can't see much of the server side/web access in any case. -- Regards, Uri Sharf ------------------- Ed., Linmagazine visit: http://linmagazine.co.il ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
