EC, the Kolab server and KDE Kontact program do most of what Exchange does. Remote logins are done with an LDAP server for the centralized login authorization server.
Knight, you lack to realize how poerful Linux really is. I have seen a replacement for almost every Windows application I ever needed to run:
Microsoft Office -> OpenOffice
Internet Exlorer -> Mozilla Firefox (DUH!)
Outlook -> Mozilla Thunderbird or Kontact or lots of other programs
Winamp -> Xmms
iTunes -> Amarok (KDE) or Banshee (GNOME)
Windows Media Player -> Xine or Mplayer (I use both for different things)
CD Ripping -> Lame
CD//DVD Burning -> k3b (KDE)
Hardware monitoring -> lm_sensors + hddtemp + GKrellM
Laptop/keyboard function/multimedia buttons -> acpid + a little custom coding (did this over the weekend)
Gaming -> Cedega (BF2 works better in here than Windows, anyway)
Windows Networking -> Samba
Editors -> KWrite or Kate
TV tuner -> ivtv drivers + Mplayer
and the list goes on...
Linux is more of a "nerd"-based OS, but hey...putting in a little extra work makes the victory even sweeter! |
