In case it was missed over on Slashdot, the following is interesting and
useful news for the gov't/enterprise level of things :^)

Novell To Release Ximian Connector Under GPL
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/05/11/1645245

  "According to this article on LinuxToday.com as well as this press
  release directly from their site, Novell announced that its "Connector
  for MS Exchange Server would be integrated into Evolution 2.0 and made
  available as open source, beginning today with the current Connector
  1.4."  Apparently, downloads will be available for the current version
  of Evolution starting May 14th."

  Thanks to reader crafterm, a snippet from Novell's Connector
  website: "With the Connector for Microsoft Exchange installed,
  Evolution functions as an Exchange client, enabling users to become
  full participants in company-wide group scheduling and other
  collaborative tasks.  Linux and Solaris users can access public
  folders, Global Address Lists, email, calendar, task lists, and group
  scheduling information."

  Update: 05/11 17:58 GMT by T: In related news, ChiralSoftware writes
  "Codeweavers' long-awaited sequel to Crossover 2.1 is here.  Just like
  the old version, the new version lets you install MS Office on Linux
  desktops.  The new version adds support for Outlook XP, Lotus Notes and
  Microsoft Project."


Spread the good news!
