Inter-office email

[Patrick Allen]

Greetings,

I hope this post isn't to "newbie" for this particular list.  But I'm 
looking for some direction from folk that have experience.

The company I work for is looking to implement some kind of inter-office 
communication.  We're a small company and I'm the closest thing to IT 
that we have, so I'm gathering information on possibilities.

I've been using Linux at home for a few years.  Mostly Mandrake Distros. 
   But there are many features of it I've yet to explore.  I'm still 
quite green in many areas.

The "Boss" has just acquired a working knowledge of Outlook and would 
like to have some way of sharing Calendars and To-Do lists etc. with his 
employees.  I'm aware of several ways of doing this.  But having no 
experience implementing any of them, I'm looking for a place to start.

MS Exchange may well be the way we'll end up going.  But not if I can 
provide another *timely* and working solution.  I have played with the 
Knoppix More Groupware disk and it looked very promising.  I'm also 
aware of the Opengroupware project.  However I'm not sure if either of 
these packages would be simple enough for me to implement and maintain.

I still struggle with just getting my Win machines to see Linux shares 
at home, so I'm wondering if something of this magnitude is simply out 
of my realm.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
