Well, I went ahead (months ago) and installed Zimbra and hoped it would not irreparably destroy my system if I tried to uninstall it. Zimbra was slower than a pig, thank you, even with 1GB and only 2 users testing it. So, no thanks, time to uninstall. It took me weeks to undo all of the changes, and even then the system did not seem to work as it did before (which had been perfect before I installed Zimbra).
I ended up re-installing the entire Fedora system. Needless to say, I will never trust anything some cluck on a forum says when it comes to "just trust the system." Intuition told me I should not have trusted him, based on my years of admin and support experience. Shame on me.
Now. Listen up: If you had pulled this garbage in a trading company, or a nuclear plant, or anywhere else uptime and fallback capability are critical to an operation, you would have been fired on the spot. I realize you don't get paid to do this work, but please be more careful with such advice in the future.
Counsel is 100% correct. It is YOUR software, and therefore YOUR responsibility. |
Years of IT Management experience tells me when I am trying an application such as Zimbra, I do so on a machine that can be scrapped and rebuilt without impacting any production resources.
There was something obviously wrong with your machine/install if it was slow for 2 users and you were using anything close to a modern processor and had normal resource availability.
Zimbra is a complex application and interacts with the operating system. If you can't understand it, you have no business complaining about it if it doesn't work the way *you* expect it to work.
