Linux vs Windows - Conquering a Windows Based World

The Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute located at the Sydney Prince of Wales Hospital has made the switch, and are successfully using the open source Zimbra email and groupware platform. They are running Zimbra in a virtual machine on Redhat Enterprise Linux.

“In an effort to use open standards “as much as possible”, Cartwright wasn’t keen to go with Exchange as it is a Windows-only product and a lot of the researchers have a preference for using Mac OS X, while others need to use Linux for research.

“It’s not a standard business environment and I need to support a lot of systems,” Cartwright said.”

Definitely another group to pay attention too, hopefully they’ll post additional updates about the progress.
