Good Groupware Server for Gentoo

ewtrowbr · Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:38 pm Post subject: Good Groupware Server for Gentoo

Hi all,

I am planning a small office rollout for a bunch of windows PCs, running XP with Outlook express. I want to use linux/free software as the backend suite. I have already decided on Samba, postfix, qpopper for email and file sharing.

I am still looking for an application that will allow my users to share contact databases and calanders. I am impressed with webcalendar (http://webcalendar.sourceforge.net) and I might. Does anybody else know of any other good applications for sharing business information in a small office? I like php, web-enabled, applications very much. I am looking to replace all major feature that would be supplied by groupwise or exchange with open source software.

Anybody know of some projects I should take a look at?

thanks in advance,
erich

Perhaps this should be in Networking & Security?

I like kolab, although you need a special connector to use it with outlook (for calendar/tasks/notes).

I just setup Project Based Calendaring System for my business. Haven't started using it full scale yet, but it appears as though it will meet our needs.

I've just set this up. It works really well... so far. I've only had it running 2 days :lol:

There is a handly gui for configuring kontact: egroupwarewizard
There is also a great manual for installing and securing egroupware on the egroupware website.
It contains some good general information for securing apache and php too. Well worth a read just for that.
