Lotus Notes

[John Miles]

Interestingly - internally in IBM we've got excellent support for Lotus
Notes, Sametime and Symphony on both Fedora and Ubuntu.
For a long time it was exclusively RHEL4/5 based, but the internal community
supported efforts are pretty impressive.
I am presently using it on FC9, and was using it on Ubuntu 8.10!
Let me see whether there is some initiative to expand this beyond the
confines

John.
