Thank you Novell!
For a while now, I’ve been wanting to run Linux at work. My reasons are many, but mainly because I want to try an experiment on myself: to not use Windows for a good length of time and see if I can get by. I use my work laptop way more than I do my home computer pretty much because when I get home, I don’t have any spare time. So if I want to conduct this experiment, I’d have to use my laptop to carry it out. The biggest roadblock was that since we run Exchange for email/groupware, I need to be able to access this without fault.
I’d looked into what options existed in the Linux realm, but alas found only Ximian’s Connector for Microsoft Exchange as part of their Evolution email/groupware application. The only catch was that Connector was proprietary and you had to pay for a license to use it. Damn! I was soo close. At that point I gave up the hunt.
