Hi all,

fell free to port zimbra to OSX, but i think that is a wrong choice!!

See this article:
http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=2436
i can confirm that is thru. OSX I/O is very Slow compared with Linux I/O
and that's mean that mysql is very slow under osx.
The best choice is to install Linux PPC instead OSX for a Server use.

Please consider to port Zimbra under LinuxPPC (debian ubuntu for example) using java-ppc from ibm, so all peuple that like mac, (i love mac) can use zimbra under mac.

There are a lot of request for Debian. A regular debian package can be compiled for intel or ppc architeture (and much more arch), so it's easy to create a ppc distributions from a x86 version.

I have another request for Zimbra team:

Please create a liveCD knoppix based for intel and ppc with the option to install it to the HD.

best,
MaX

How 'bout RHEL 3? We have some enterprise apps that aren't compatible with RHEL4 yet...

Default 2.4 kernel

RHEL3 is on a 2.4 kernel, and would require a bit of work to make things function

Default Os X

OS X is my vote. you already are close to a stong os x back with iCal and widget integration. Give the server to and I know you will have apple people coast to coast showing you off as part of demonstrations. Make zimbra use OS X's implementation of openLDAP and you will have even stronger support.
