G'day guys
I've been following SOGo for awhile now, used the ZEG and played with
the tutorial that Oliver has kindly made available.
My question is I have access to a vast amount of small businesses that
I currently support and would love to support in the area of an
Exchange alternative. But my reluctance is that I don't understand
SOGo, OpenChange, Dovecot, Samba4, Sope, etc. I was wondering if
anyone knew or could tell me where I could get training in this area.
Currently I have a basic understanding of Linux, but I'm looking for a
cutting edge education. The local education places only support Samba3
which annoys me to no end.
So in a nutshell, if I were to do some courses (online preferably)
what is the recommendation?
Also I just want to say brilliant venture, I love Linux so keep up the
great work.
Hello Steven,
I have been following SOGo for several months now and played with the
ZEG and tried to add SOGo to a Debian server. I think there is a long
way to go with this before I can use it and I don't think it's a matter
of training. I have used ClearOS 5.2 successfully for small businesses.
With it's web interface it's very easy to get it to do all the things
it's capable of such as file sharing, email and hosting the companies
website. (I can't say the same about ClearOS 6)
The 'Internet' defines lots of things for us, like how websites work,
how email works and how DNS works. What it does not define is how
address books work. All I want is a simple centralised database of email
addresses that is shared by all email users in the company.
Back in the 90's there was a fantastic thing called Lotus Notes which
was the ultimate groupware. There are no open standards to let you
create one in Linux. Whare are the IMAP and SMTP protocols for address
books and calendars?
I have no idea why people would create standards such as IMAP yet not
carry on and create standards for address books. Unless it's so that
Microsoft Exchange has no competitor in the Open Source area.
Regards,
Wayland.
(Someone please correct me if I am wrong)
