Ubuntu Resources for Those Notes 8.5 First Time Linux Installs

Category IBM/Lotus Domino ND8 Linux Ubuntu

Ahhh. Notes 8.5 beta has been released. Domino Designer in Eclipse. Supported roaming with the Standard install. Google Calendar integration. And, Symphony 1 is out.

Oh, and the Linux Notes client can finally be placed on a Free Open Source Software client platform. I think it was a matter of time, and while RHEL and/or SuSE have FOSS clients, I had my fingers crossed that Ubuntu would get the nod. So, now we have a supported FOSS client with Notes. On Ubuntu. It's just weird looking at a Notes .deb package.

If you don't know where to start with Ubuntu, Yaser Sulaiman's Best Ubuntu Resources is current and recommended ! !

Gravatar Image2 - Well, the admin client is all a matter of ratio, right ? Sure, you need an admin client to complete a pure Linux install, but let's look at a 1,000 seat Linux install. 1,000 ND8.5 clients, a smattering of Designers and really, only one admin client is necessary. Between the Certificate Authority and WebAdmin.nsf, almost every mundane admin task can be completed. Now, I'm interested in whether or not DDM is better in 8.5 over HTTP.
