Ubuntu 10.4 lives up to the hype | Linux and Open Source | TechRepublic.com: “I realize over the last couple of months I have been just as guilty of hyping up Ubuntu 10.4 as every other person in the media. And I confess there was a small portion of my brain that was concerned the latest-greatest from Canonical couldn’t possibly live up to every fragment of hype surrounding the release. 10.4 Was being billed as the golden child of Linux from all corners of the Linux-verse. Well, we all finally got chance to see how the official release stood up to the various PR machines. Did it stand up to what was promised? From my perspective it not only stood up to it, it surpassed the hype.”

Connect Evolution to Exchange 2007 MAPI: “Evolution is the groupware suite for the Linux operating system. It is, for all intents and purposes, Outlook for Linux. The only downfall is, out of the box, it doesn’t play well with Exchange 2007. But, like every other hurdle the Linux community has come up against, a work around was created. The work around for Evolution? A MAPI plugin that will allow Evolution to communicate with an Exchange 2007 MAPI server. NOTE: If you are attempting to connect to an Exchange 2003 server you can use the standard Exchange connector that is installed with Evolution by default.”
