by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Not everyone needs full-blown (some might say overblown) groupware, which is why companies like Scalix exist. Messaging is a continuum of functions, ranging from simple mail to e-mail and calendaring and up to full groupware and collaboration. And some people just want a great client that can be Web-based or client-based that can do e-mail and calendaring. That's why porting the Scalix server to the zSeries mainframe running Linux in its logical partitions makes sense. READ MORE >

As I See It: Surviving a Job Loss
by Victor Rozek

Stay in the work force long enough, and chances are you will eventually lose a job.

The result, however, will be the same: someone will have decided to terminate your employment, thereby depriving you of your livelihood. READ MORE >
