Jim Carter asked a question about Sharepoint services for (OpenSuSE) Linux.
This is the response I jusr received from Novell.

Features of MS Sharepoint are not under the control of Novell. MS-SPoint is
a Microsoft
product, therefore they control all features of their product, including
what MS-SP uses
and will work with as clients.

Currently it seems that MS-SP is heavily dependent upon Active-X technology
and IE is the only
browser with this technology and IE will not run natively on a Linux/Unix
system. It seems that
MS-SP will work with Firefox (and therefore all Novell Linux products), but
in a limited fashion.
You would go to Microsoft in order to learn the limits of this
functionality.

To be noted, IE can be made to run inside of CrossOver from
www.codeweavers.com (an emulation
program) on top of SLED. But whether this will support MS-SP in this
emulated environment is once
again a question to put to Microsoft.

Finally, Novell offers an Open Standards version of MS-SP in the form of
Novell's Teaming and Conferencing
that will work with any browser, and therefore any OS that can run any
browser.

Hope this clarifies the issue.
