    VMWare player is just that – a player, it doesn’t let you create. whereas VirtualBox is full on desktop virtualization product.
    VMware player last time I checked was a bigger download than VirtualBox, so not lightweight at all IMHO. but I am interested to know what you meant by lightweight, and by and integrated.
    Hope to here more.

      Ouch, it’s the massive updates that put me off testing Lucid. Hope your bandwidth is up to it :-)

    testing Ubuntu Lucid Lynx alpha release on my AspireOne netbook
    love the lightweight enlightenment libraries used for netbook-2D sessions.
    don’t love the way I have to log in twice @ GDM.

    I’ll do an openSUSE guide. I think we should have 2 parts. a) initial install and b) addons like flash, mp3, etc.
    … although for (a) there are lots of install howto’s, opensuse site has one too.

    Note: will refer to en.opensuse.org many times in the guide.

    What else/different should be in it?

    @Morgan, two things I really like for Ubuntu are ”AptonCD (included by default in Linux Mint) and Remastersys
    AptonCD takes the cache of .deb files you have downloaded via synaptic/aptitude and creates a ”software disk” that you can insert in any other Ubuntu box to update/add to its software
    Remastersys allows you to create an installable liveDVD from your existing Ubuntu installtion — ie it has all the apps you’ve added already included.

    In reply to - Morgan posted an update: Im keen we just need to choose if we gonna make it a ubuntu guide or other flavour. We could also start with a ubuntu guide and let the other guys with other flavours maybe do post to do same thing for other flavours. Im all for collaboration · View

    Hmm, don’t know about ubuntu. I know of some that have used SLES or OpenSUSE.
    if you’re thinking of ‘buntu, check out http://www.ebox-platform.com . “e-box” will let you have centralized logins, etc. aka domain control. it uses LDAP for auth. aimed at SME.

  • Andrew wrote a new blog post: Client side email archiving

    For people used to MS Outlook, archiving your mail is a normal procedure. You probably set it to auto-archive certain folders too.
    Archiving in this sense, means moving mails into another message store (PST file). If connected to an exchange/IMAP server, this would result in your messages being removed from the server and kept on your [...]

    Email archiving: what Linux client-side solutions are there. e.g for Thunderbird or Evolution.?
    (and not just “leave a copy on gmail”)
    is archiving relevant?
