Why did you have to install from a tarball ? Were you not running an RPM based distro ? Even so, they have the following distros officially supported; 5.0.1 GA Release * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 x86 HTTP | Bittorrent * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 x86_64 HTTP | Bittorrent * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 x86 HTTP | Bittorrent * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 x86_64 HTTP | Bittorrent * Red Hat Fedora 7 x86 HTTP | Bittorrent * Debian 4 x86 HTTP | Bittorrent * MacOS X x86 HTTP | Bittorrent * openSUSE Linux 10.2 x86 HTTP | Bittorrent * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 x86 HTTP | Bittorrent * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 x86_64 HTTP | Bittorrent * Ubuntu 6.06 LTS x86 HTTP | Bittorrent And each one comes in the right package format, .deb .rpm etc etc. And it is simply a case of running 'install.sh' and it takes care of the rest. Also, I actually like the fact that it wants its own machine to run in. Makes it more 'applicance' like and believe me it makes for much easier administration. In my case, zimbra server runs in a xen based VM, so there is no real issue with having to integrate other things with zimbra. I also tried scalix a while back, but IMO, it was not as feature rich as zimbra and it felt a bit clunkier. Now that I'm using zimbra I don't think I'd even bother to look at scalix for at least a couple of years. YMMV. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
