"The Kolab server adds a full groupware server solution to Mandrakelinux 
10.0 Official professional packs."

and

"The range of Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official packs will be available in early 
May 2004 and will provide documentation, support, third-party software and 
several additional professional features such as the Kolab server and 
several network management tools."

<don't quote on the web page>The kolab-server packages have been 
intentionally left off the "download" ISOs etc, for product differentation 
reasons (ie they will be on the "Official Powerpack" and "Official 
ProSuite" etc), but all the packages (as usual) in main are available on 
the FTP mirrors. Being in main, they are supported (in terms of security 
updates) for everyone.</don't quote on web page>
