Subject: opportunity for Linux to manage calendar and contacts for Windows network

I have a client with NT Server 4.0 and about 20 workstations
running NT workstation and Win2000 Pro. All of their company
email is managed by MTAOnline with no problems.
They would like a centralized place to access a company
wide calendar and contacts database. My client has been
asking me about Exchange Server. I just checked pricing
from MS and its $699 for Exchange 2000 Server. I think this
would be way overkill for what they need and they are open
to try something different to save money.
This is a great opportunity to introduce Linux to my client.
I have some skills with Redhat 7.2 and Suse 8.0. (beginner)
My question is what kind of opportunities are there for
accomplishing this task with Linux? Any applications out there
for Linux that I can install and put on my clients network
for a simple central place they can all access for calendar
and contacts? They have some spare boxes available for
me to install Linux and put on the network.
I really enjoy learning Linux so I hope you all can point
me in some direction here. This would be a good project for me.
Thanks,
Andy Firman
