On the other hand, in my experience, Kolab also has one very strong point (or 
at least had when we chose to use it almost 1.5 years back): As far as I have 
seen, it's the only OSS groupware solution that wholeheartedly supports 
*Linux* desktop clients, i.e. Kontact right from the start (if I leave the 
NFS problems aside for a moment - that's a different kettle of fish). If I 
take our users as a reference, a web interface - while important - does not 
replace the desktop client. This was e.g. our problem with - then - SLOX, 
where the desktop client support was poor.

Cheerio,
