Your distro isn't the problem >.<

That will set you up with thunderbird. Should work. Also check out OpenChange. It is an open source MAPI client.
Ubuntu is a sissy OS, just grab a BSD, or Debian for that fact. We got a Suse boxen here at work that connected to the exchange pretty much with a default vanilla installation.
Why would you even run that glorified garbage in a production environment anyway??
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA That's going on my business cards!Quote:

EDIT: HYBR|D, I gotta spread it around some more before I can give it to you again!
Well I thought Ubuntu was the way to go ...
I got opensuse here somewhere, will give it a go :P
lol. Why, because it works out of the box? I think you are a sissy if you don't wire your own house, or build your own car. :-PQuote:

Yikes didn't realise calling it a "Sissy OS" would get such a great reaction :D
anyhow i guess it does keep the usual fanboy's and sack riders busy while they point n click through an installer that holds there hand the whole way threw, i mean it was only a matter of time before a "sissi-fied" *nix distro hit the market for those that couldn't get slackware etc installed cause you couldn't just do your makeup, talk on your phone while randomly clicking that mouse all over the screen n presto you got yourself a bitchin *nix install, so now you gotta post bout it all over the interwebz cause your all l337 now cause you got that Linux..
Reminds me of the Apple fanboys' how they always meantion "Hey i posting on my iPhone / iPad" :rolleyes:
**** i shouldn't post here when i'm :hippy:
heh. I was running Linux long before Ubuntu came out. And humans were using fire long before we had lighters... but I am not going to go out and rub two sticks together just because I want to feel hardcore. :)
Hey! What's wrong with Apple!?

I actually was going to just say to use SUSE since they got it right already lol, but someone already said to use it.Quote:

Which is amazing if you think about it, I mean seriously, which Linux company, has the balls to go to Microsoft, and not only get them on board, but actually got them to admit that in some situations, Windows Servers are NOT the answer?
Well, Novell did it. Like I said, I don't have all the info about what happened, but considering I'm buddies with their head of PR, and most of their teams, and from what I've heard, they basically have a deal with Microsoft now, where if one of their customers doesn't WANT Windows as the Server, just the desktops, they are going to start recommending that they use SUSE Linux instead of anything else.
So basically if you are a Microsoft customer, and have Unix Servers and don't want Windows on them, but you want it on the desktop, Microsoft will actually recommend SUSE Linux to you.... That's amazing!
I think also the fact that back in the day, before Novell, SUSE already had a product to do Exchange stuff. So they have had this issue done and worked out for a long time!
I STILL have one of my SUSE Catalogs from like almost 10 years ago or so, where they were selling things like that in it. It's awesome. To bad I didn't get in earlier, they also used to make their own Hardware. SUSE Hardware would have been awesome.
I've seen it but never owned any.

Westin I don't care if you like Ubuntu, or if you built your own car, but don't be telling me Ubuntu is so great with BOFH in the title ;) (Kidding, of course, I hate Ubuntu, and Gentoo, but I don't really care if someone does like it).

Sorry,. OK, so, the installer of any given distro these days, seriously? THAT is why something is good? Think about this for a second, OpenSUSE, SUSE, and Mandriva and RedHat and Debian, ALL use a GUI installer. All of them. And for SUSE it's like....
I've installed an OS before without the monitor. I've done that with Slackware and SUSE I think twice.... I didn't have the monitor on and since I knew exactly what to press and how many times, I just did it. THAT is easy.
The SUSE installer has always been good though. I just love it. They struck gold with Yast and Yast2.
Oh and since someone has now recommended SUSE, remember this:
Yast2 is not just the best ever system tool, it also has a console version:
As root type this:
yast
Without the "2" it loads a non-GUI version so you can do this over SSH. Very nice :)
"'But what about if we're called upon to promote something which looks to be all glitz and glamour but is actually the lowest form of proprietary consumerist crap?' the PFY asks, while looking a number up on his iPhone."
I was trying to be that clever, but failed miserably >.<

Please do forgive me for going a little step off topic here. Just a little point of interest in case some people didn't know:
Taken from:Quote:
SuSE Linux
The origins
The company started its activities as a service company, which among other things regularly released software packages that included SLS and Slackware, printed UNIX/Linux manuals, and offered technical assistance. In mid-1992, Softlanding Linux System (SLS, now defunct) was founded by Peter MacDonald, and was the first comprehensive distribution to contain elements such as X and TCP/IP.[citation needed] The Slackware distribution (maintained by Patrick Volkerding) was initially based largely on SLS, and the SUSE Linux distribution was originally a German translation of Slackware Linux.
I didn't know about this for a very long time. I started out with only suse linux long time ago,and from all the distros i had tried since then, the only one that keeps me interested is pure slackware.Code:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux_distributions
Now lets go back on topic. In a company i used to work for in athens, i do recall them running exchange on slackware. By the looks of it, slackware and suse have the same folder tree system (/etc/rc.d/) etc.... which many other linux distros don't seem to share. If i recall, even the BSD family has the same folder structures like suse and slackware, so i would not be surprised if someone could get exchange working on bsd? Maybe its a long shot at what i am saying, but would be worth a try to see :D
And as Gore has mentioned... Yast&Yast2 are true beautys. I do miss yast on slack sometimes.... but the tools available for maintaining slackware aswell as installing packages are just fine.
I feel cheated, you weren't even off-topic that was a darn good read. :thumbsup:Quote:

That's true :) SUSE, used to be SuSE, which used to be S.u.S.E., which, of course, was "Software und System-Entwicklung" which is German for "Software and Systems Development".Quote:

They also used to make hardware, and they also do code audits like OpenBSD does, line by line, and have for a LONG time. Marcus Meissner, the head of security who does the patches and so on, is totally awesome. Every time I've talked to him, other than trying to get him to add BOFH articles to the manuals, I've gotten him to do patches for me personally.
I had a Kernel patch once mess up X and my Drivers for Nvidia, which, for the most part is normal, you have to reinstall them, but for some reason they REALLY messed up. I told him what I had running, and he went to work early that day to fix it for MY video card and set up. That was nice I though lol.
There was a time where here, if anyone had a problem with SUSE, they generally had my name in the title of their post, because I had pretty gotten it to a point where if it was SUSE, I pretty much could fix it for the most part.
I even managed to help someone getting it going on a Mainframe, which was really something lol.
I still have my SUSE Linux 8.1 Professional Calendar, lol. It's awesome. It's a full Calendar, and on the sides, it has the complete History up to that point in time, including how they started, and what they did with each version, and a date of when it happened. It's not only cool, you just don't see that kind of stuff anymore. I miss those SuSE stickers too, I still have mine lol.
Well **** ... I think I will give opensuse a try :)
Bear in mind I want to learn with suse :)
Your "Man's" Only Decoder ring is in the mail, you can now destroy your "Sissy" AO Decoder ring accordingly as listed in the referenced chapter in the acceptable use policy in the memo that was sent out. :drink:
what V of Suse you going to grab and try out??
How did you mix "Manly" and "Decoder ring" ?
Where is my Decoder ring!?

Between the boy decoder ring and the girl decoder ring >.< I happen to know that what makes a man is his Y chromosome tyvm! =P
Well, you can haz the girl one lol. You get a man one when you apparently write an OS while driving through town in the car you built talking on a cell phone you made with a Cigarette Lighter and a Nintendo, and so on. Or you could try some other form of leet ninja skills or something lol.
ALL CIDER HAD TO DO WAS INSTALL SUSE! Heck, he just needed to SAY he is going to install SUSE >.<Quote:
