Thanks for your opinion. I thought so already but I'm really reluctant
to set up another packaging system next to the Mandrake system since
this means running updates for two systems and keep one system from
interfering with the other. I don't really like the concept. Having
packages from Mandrake has the big advantage that you get updates from
one source only.

By sheer luck I found Mandrake's 10.1 PowerPack+ for 79,90€ today.
Normally it costs 199,90€. The shop confused the box with the normal
PowerPack I guess. I'm not to blame though since I asked about the
price and they confirmed this was the correct price. :-)

The PowerPack+ integrates Kolab 1.0 and according to the manuals it is
very easy to set up. Anybody interested in details when I'm finished?

Tobias W.
