Sharepoint Services for SuSE 10.3

Someone asked a while back about MS Sharepoint services for Ubuntu which led
to a thread discussing why Linux was not going to overtake Windows without
more compatibility. The problem exists however that no one even tried to
answer the question directly: "Does anyone know of a package that provides
MS SharePoint Services on a SuSE 10.3 server?"

Please don't fall into the way too prevalent usenet trap of discussing the
shade of orange while the house burns. Can someone help answer this
question?

I've just spoken with a Novel representative who informed me that the person
who would be able to respond to this question is out of town this week.
I've sent him an e-mail and will get back with a response when/if I get
one. It seems that since Novel is working with MS, including '.NET' stuff
that this (Sharepoint Services) would be something they might be
contemplating.

I'll let you know when I know.

This doesn't answer your question, but hey, it's Usenet: that's allowed. I
use Sharepoint at work and am generally frustrated by it. I think the concept
is great, but Sharepoint services as a product could use improvement in a lot
of areas. There's an open source project being developed to compete; it's
called Alfresco. I haven't used it but it was written up in a Linux magazine
I read last year and it looked interesting. I doubt it has all of
Sharepoint's functionality but it's based on standards, which makes it
attractive for that reason alone.
