Kolab native debian lenny install?

The Kolab Konsortium still recommends using the OpenPKG for any  
productive system. This is not meant to discredit the native  
installations. But you have to take into account that the Kolab Server  
is a very complex beast. Every release needs extensive testing and the  
OpenPKG variant is the only version that currently gets this (as far  
as I know).

For a productive system you also want to have a clean upgrade path  
which is again something you will probably only get with the OpenPKG  
variant.

I'm no fan of OpenPKG either and I consider the native variants as  
very important to the progress of Kolab in general. But for productive  
systems I still discourage from using them.

Cheers,

Gunnar
