BES on Linux

Hi,

A long shot…

Anyone heard of when/if a version of Blackberry Enterprise Server will be available for Domino on Linux. And which versions of each.?

Thanks

Steve

… I don’t think that a BES for Linux is currently planned.

Have you considered virtualization for the BES? I am not sure that it would be supported by RIM but you could theoretically install a virtual machine on top of your Linux box and run WIndows in that… =(

It’s hardly ideal… but should be possible. Check out VirtualBox or VMware for this approach (there might be other products).

RIM are a 100% microsoft operation

You will need a windows server for your BES and your admins will need IE7 or later

The BES admin client is so badly written it won’t work under anything else

If RIM thought they could get away with no Notes BES they would. I speak from experience of working at RIM…
