Installing the Groupwise Client on Ubuntu Hardy Heron May 15th, 2008

So we use GroupWise obviously. However for the most part, I spend my time on Ubuntu these days as I like XFCE4 and Ubuntu as a whole. This is not to say I don’t use my Novell Suse Enterprise Desktop, I do, quite a lot, but its also nice to have a bit of a play with other distros from time to time.

Recently I have been doing lots of work in the area of asset management. Its a pain in the ass but it is necessary for any business to carry it out especially after a period of growth.

At the moment I am using the excellent Novell ZENworks Asset Management software. I’ve used many asset management solutions over the past few years. Some were great at windows, some at UNIX based systems, but some just plain weird and crap (I think Dell just acquired them *cough*). I won’t go into the wonderfulness that is ZAM (like Unix and Windows management), go and download a free trial for yourself, its not difficult to setup and runs itself quite well with little interaction required.
