Citadel is absolutely awesome. It takes minutes to install. They even have a virtual machine you can download from their site, built on CentOS, that you can try. I have been using it for a few months now and have had a great experience. It has shared calendars, email, bulletin boards, and more.. and a nice web interface to all of the above (a text only client is even available). All of the features are available in an open source package. There is no seperate "enterprise" version with features that the "open source" version doesn't get. I am running it in a virtual machine based on Ubuntu 7.10 server, and currently testing it in a virtual machine based on Ubuntu "jeos" (Just Enough Operating System). So far it has been great. The "community" has been great about answering questions that have come up. I highly recommend it. It has greatly simplified my job with regards to managing my mail server and calendars.
Josh, My son went through the magnet program there at Krueger a few years ago (KSAT), and has since moved up the road to the magnet program at Roosevelt High School's ETA program. (Engineering and Technology Academy) He will be a Junior when school resumes after summer break. I would sure love to see something like this at Roosevelt. It's right around the corner, has the number one high school engineering program in the state of Texas, has a great deal of students that go on to study there after your program, and would be a perfect place to continue learning on this great platform. Mr. Sturgis is the head of the Engineering program. And I'm sure your well aware of the second magnet program at Roosevelt, as well (DATA). Keep up the good work! I have been a linux user myself, for about the last 4 years or so, and have been using Ubuntu on my personal machines since a couple of months after the initial release of version 4.10 (Warty). I will try to contact you through the school to see if there is any way I might be able to get you two guys together, and will do whatever I can to promote this. If you do talk to Mr. Sturgis, my last name is Hanna.. he will know who my son is. Thanks again.. will be in touch soon.
That is correct.. kind of odd to write reviews on "alpha" software, that every day on the Ubuntu Forums, people are warned about using. The point of these alpha releases is to get new stuff out there... squash the bugs... get the fixes in to the system.. before the beta and Release Candidate. The final is still a month away.. So most of the complaints seem to be about people expecting everything in an "Alpha version" to work "out of the box".. If you are not interested in finding and fixing... you should not be using alpha versions of an operating system! The very point of there existence is to "bring these problems out to be fixed".
Your post is full of misinformation. I don't know where to start. I have been running Ubuntu since it came out.. October of 2004, I believe.. I have web servers, mail servers, ftp servers, file servers serving Linux and Windows workstations.. all running the long term support version (6.04) as of now. Security you say? None of my Ubuntu machines has EVER been rooted, infected with a virus, or in any way compromised. It is as stable as anything I've run (much more than WinXX). I also run it on a Dell laptop. The repositories are huge.. and if you can't find what you are looking for there, then there's nothing stopping you from compiling from source.. just like any other distro.. Don't like using "sudo" to do things as root? This can be changed in seconds. Package management? Apt-get and Synaptic make "dependancy hell" a memory.. Don't like the Gnome Desktop? Change it to KDE, Fluxbox, Xoffice, or maybe Enlightenment.. By BASIC, do you meen a menu that isn't cluttered with 5 different choices for how to listen to an mp3 or burn a DVD? You can download all that bloat if you care to.. customize away.. It's all about freedom of choice! Enjoy MicroSuse if you like! Choice is good.
On a hot day, it can reach nearly 130 degrees in Iraq.. so if you use this weapon over there, they will look at each other and say "hot day today, Ishmael, eh?"

You probably don't hear that enough..
