Ubuntu is a very popular desktop Linux platform. I am not sure how popular Ubuntu is as a server.

From the administrative side SLES and RHEL is much more advanced from what I have seen lately.

Even running CentOS is more flexible. On the client side supporting Ubuntu is very important. I am not sure how many people use the Ubuntu server.

I can understand that for smaller companies using a free distribution would be important.

But if you are using a free version you don't have support anyway (at least from the OS side) and you could also look into CentOS.

The platform and distribution decission is very difficult and I am not totally convinced that Ubuntu Server is the next logical step.

For instance, no Notes Shared Login on Linux or Mac, no Admin/Designer on Linux/Mac, etc...

If IBM claims Notes to be multi-platform, all major features should be supported on all platforms.

Otherwise, you are not really free of choice, for instance, you still need a Windows client to administrate your 100 % Linux Domino server and 100% Linux (Notes only) client environment.

But it becomes dangerous, when the major and most important Notes client platform (= MS Windows in my humble opinion) suffers from a strategy, where a lot of platforms are supported, but none for 100%.

I think mobile messaging (on Android/iOS/Symbian/WiMo devices) is a completely different area, but in my point of view, IBM should be more focussed on 1 or 2 strategic client platforms for the Lotus Notes Standard (Eclipse base) client and align functionality and features on these strategic platforms.]]>

I was impressed by a show case of A. Pleschek (sorry for typos) at AdminCamp in the past.

BUT:

What I've seen in the past years is that some customers were thinking about a move to a Linux client platform, but all experiments were gone in the wind meanwhile.

What I am interested in is:

What (kind of) customers are really running a large-scale(!) productive(!) client environment on a Linux client platform as sole client platform.

No plans, no pilots, no intention. Who really did it?

Who is really running it, let's say at least 500 clients, without any Windows emulation as fall back?

Of cause, I know the IBM Open Client initiative, but where is the critical market share?

What is the situation of 3rd party addons for Linux. I doubt there are a reasonable number of tools available for Linux, where vendors provide a Windows or even MAC solution.

For instance, there are no plans for a Admin/Designer client on Linux in the near future.]]>

At the time of writing the scripts, I discussed the services issue with some collegues and we decided that it would be a good idea from the stability point of view, to remove the services.

Today (with 8.5.1 & 8.5.2), I would leave the services untouched.]]>

As I say you on my last message, I'm new on Linux .... is it possible (as in Windows) start server in a console?
