Installation and Upgrades / Zarfara Groupware
« on: September 01, 2010, 10:07:46 pm »
I see that the groupware switch has happened with Z 2.0.
Looking at the features of the substituted groupware package at
http://www.zarafa.com/content/editions
am I right that the calendar system is only available with their commercial version?

Installation and Upgrades / File server with WinXP Home clients
« on: July 11, 2010, 06:31:21 pm »I am setting up a new ebox server that will be a file server for a half dozen clients. Some are xp home, some are win7 home and some are ubuntu. I have looked through this guide
http://www.howtoforge.com/using-ebox-as-windows-primary-domain-controller
and I gather that xp home clients are not able to access a pdc controlled file share. Could someone point me to something that helps me set up file shares for the xp home users on my lan?

Installation and Upgrades / Transition to Ebox - advice needed
« on: July 08, 2010, 07:45:17 am »
I have just discovered ebox and it looks like exactly what I need.
I run an office with 8 workstations for 6 people. Our main use is word processing, email and web browsing. The workstations are WinXP. We presently have two servers running ubuntu. One of them is our egroupware server. It is an older version of ubuntu. The other is our file server. I think the ubuntu running on it is a year or so old. Although it is not really in use, we have LTSP on the file server. I want to expand the use of ltsp to support thin clients and change some of the workstations over to use it or local installs of ubuntu depending on the capabilities of the particular workstations. There will still be a couple of WinXP boxes for some things we need them for. I was about to replace the file server and update its OS and begin this transition when I came across ebox. It looks like the cat's pajamas, including everything we need, some security and other functions we ought to have plus it would incorporate our egroupware server and our file server into a single unit. That all sounds terrific.
I gather that the expected v2 is expected to include thin client support. I could set up a fresh file server in ubuntu that includes ltsp and then install ebox using the current version with the plan that I would update the install to v2 when it comes out. Or I could wait for v2 and do it all at once. After all, it is working as it is.
What pros and cons of either approach should be considered?
