  1. Choices on Comcast Goes to Zimbra · · Score: 5, Informative

    I did an eval on Zimbra vs. Scalix about a year ago. I decided to roll out Scalix, because at that time, Zimbra did not support mailbox delegation, did not have a mature Outlook MAPI connector (or one at all) and required too much DEU retraining. Scalix Web Access looks just like Outlook.

    Now having just said this, Scalix is a pig! It' is unstable, uses A very clunky hack of Tomcat, has no backup or restore functionaility, the Outlook connector is missing key features that Outlook/Exchange users live by, and an incident-based support pricing model that, quite frankly, is a racket. (I know packethead, tell us what you really think).

    I sincerly hope Zimbra has gotten more mature and can actually put a dent in M$'s dominance.

  12. Time to look for a new distro on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 1

    Matt. I have enjoyed using RedHat since 4.2. I have a LOT of systems I run on RH. How difficult is it going to be in the future to set up a box, go to the errata page for updates - and expect them to be current - like the latest Apache bug that RH has not patched?

  18. Perfect Pitch? on Perfect Pitch for Those Without It · · Score: 1

    Perfect pitch implies that one has the ability to know what a pitch is. So you can hum a 440 "A" then walk up a piano that's been properly tuned, plunk the "A", and you're right on pitch.

    Now, pitch matching is the ability to sing "on tune".

    This sounds more like a pitch matching solution, not something that gives you perfect pitch.
