RE: QUICKPLACE ON LINUX - SIGN UP PLEASE!!! ~Xagra Frofanamarikle 11.Sep.02 11:19 PM a Web browser Applications development All ReleasesAll Platforms
If you want to harass them about Sametime on Linux, I'd love to email you. Actually, Quickplace is cool stuff and we would definately want to run it on linux but it is out of our budget constraints currently. If we ever justify it -- then it will definately be Linux.
We are currently migrating from our Data General AV5900 (our main enterprise server) to an IBM x440 running RedHat. So far, generally, I'm quite pleased with it. (A little on the bleeding edge, but I haven't gotten too much blood all over.)
I get baffled by the software side of things (Lotus) when they say there isn't enough demand. I'd argue the demand is there but people are trying to satisfy their requirements by alternate methods because the option isn't there.
We run Domino on Linux and would love to run sametime on it, but it isn't an option so it is currently piggy backing on our W2k server. Does this mean we don't have demand for it? I think Lotus assumes there isn't a demand because we have it on W2k. We originally intended to run it on Linux until we found out that it wasn't supported (along with iNotes and other things).
What if a company really needed iNotes and was forced to W2k? The demand was there, but their requirements (and inability to wait) forced them to another platform. The lack of the option removed the demand. For us, we decided to deal with no iNotes until R6 so that we could be on Linux.
