[olug] RE: [sansug] Enterprise alternatives to Windows meeting?

[Tim - DZ]

FYI There have been some Omaha Linux User Group posts about some of this
recently, like the Open Exchange Server for example.

personally I'm still in the qmail/squirellmail boat.

 

 

Samba can do more than file sharing.like replace a Domain Controller for
example.

Subject: [sansug] Enterprise alternatives to Windows meeting?

 

While I'm waiting for SANS to get back to me with their plans for the
user group, the last message put an idea into my head.

We're looking into various alternatives to Microsoft Windows, and
perhaps this would be an interesting meeting to pull together.

Right now I'm personally tinkering with SUSE Linux, Ximian and of
course  Apple's OSX platform and considering diving into things like
SUSE's "Open Exchange" server.

I'm very much curious about what others in the area might be doing with:

Enterprise network services:
- directory services (user databases, authentication, etc.)
- file services
- printing
- email services

Has anyone experimented with Sun Ray clients (Ximian)? 

If there is a wide interest, I bet someone from Sun and Novell could
be brought in to explain their SUSE, Ximian & Linux strategies.

Perhaps a meeting could be planned in conjunction with local Linux and
Apple user groups?
