Zimbra

Hello!

I am an absolute newbie to Zimbra and a non-coder. I had a couple of questions, which I thought I would ask the community:

1) I love the feature set of Zimbra Open Source Edition. I run a very small online blog with 4-5 collaborative workers. Can I install zimbra on my server (its, as of now, shared Linux server)?

2) For a non-techie, is it very complicated to run and administer?

3) Is it advisable for a small team like mine? I would like to use the email, calendar and collaboration features...

It would help if, in future, you gave your post a more meaningful title. Other forum members can then decide if it's something they can answer or in the case of your current title, ignore.

Yes but that would depend on the linux version and what you mean by 'shared linux server'.

No but you will need to learn about how to install and administer Zimbra.

Many people that use Zimbra have small deployments for a few users.
