Linux as a workstation client

[David Brodbeck]

Doesn't support scheduling, as far as I know, and we use that feature
heavily.  Ximian now has a connector that will link it to a Microsoft
Exchange server for scheduling, task lists, etc.  We're going to have to be
a mixed shop anyway, so interoperability is very important.  Our CAD
department uses AutoCAD, and there's no Linux release of that package.

What about Netscape Communicator?  It's available for Windows platform, as
well
as Linux.  It's not plagued by the VB script viruses that Outlook has
against
it.
