I tried Kolab which drug in a bunch of mono. I'm working on getting
egroupware working, and man is that a pain to get configured. It has
everything but the kitchen sink in there. It's promising though. I use
the KDE organizer as well, and I like that quite a bit. You do not lack
for choices, that's for sure. :) Ric
