SuSE's OpenExchange and Windows Integration?

enrico_suave asks: "I work for a small-ish Non Profit Organization (less than 20 users) who would like to utilize 'groupware' (calendaring/contacts/etc) sharing software but aren't in a position to spend large amounts of cash on Microsoft Exchange Server. We currently use Outlook 2000's kludgey Net Folders which is often more trouble than it's worth. I've been looking at SuSE Linux's OpenExchange Server as a low cost groupware alternative, and wanted to know if anybody has used this package in a similar setting. A previous Slashdot article was more of an announcement, than a hands on review, and most of the reviews I've seen don't seem very objective or don't delve deep enough into details/practical usage. Has anyone used SuSE's OpenExchange in a primarily Windows shop with Outlook as the desktop mail/groupware client? How is the Outlook integration?"

    Holy Cow! I got first post. It's a good thing all the ACs are off cracking AlJazeera or this would never have happened to me.

    I'd like to thank my family, especially my wife for leaving me alone long enough to read /., my son for going to bed early, my parents for never letting me own a computer until college, my teachers in HS for not knowing anything about computers, and my current job for showing me that the IT dept is not necessarily the smartest people to have set up the network.
