Open-Xchange on RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1/2/3/4 How-to

Version 1.6 (2005/09/26)

... will try to help you to setup Open-Xchange on your RedHat 9, Fedora Core 1, 2 3 or 4 box.

Open-Xchange ("OX") is a GPL Groupware solution provided by Netline. It's the "community" version of Novell/SUSE LINUX Openexchange Server ("SLOX").

Important: the way the software is installed here is good enough for testing purposes, but certainly not for a production environment (weak passwords, too many things done with the root user ...) !!! You have been warned ...
