Calendaring for a small LAN

[John Olson]

IMO, if your budget is very limited, you're better off with an older MB
and CPU that's good quaility.  Linux isn't the hog that the 'doze is.  I
put together a small server with an ASUS P5A with an AMD K62-500, loaded
it with RAM, and put a Promise RAID card for mirroring, plugged it into
a used APC UPC and it was well under $1K.  And it performs great for
file and print serving (SAMBA to Win clients).

I wouldn't necessarily recommend a 'cheap' server - spend a little, you
get a little. A good case with 2 fans, good quality motherboard with ATA
100, 512MB RAM should still be under $1000

as for calendar stuff...

I would recommend horde but their group calendaring ain't quite done,
it's getting developed fairly rapidly.
