“A quick and easy guide to installing Domino on
Linux.“
“When Lotus placed their Sneak Preview (SPI) of Domino for Linux
on Notes.Net in August of this year, I’m sure even they were
surprised that 50,000 people chose to download it — considering
each download was a non-trivial 130MB. This gives some indication
of the scale of the interest in Linux, both as an alternative
platform in its own right and as a platform for Domino.”
“Recently, at Lotusphere ’99 in Berlin, Lotus announced the
second release of the software, Sneak Preview II (SPII), which has
fixed several of the problems associated with the initial version.
What scares many people away from taking the plunge and trying SPII
out is the steep learning curve associated with Linux, especially
if your interest is Domino-on-the-platform rather than the platform
itself. This article shows you how to install and setup SPII on a
spare PC in less than one hour, with no Linux knowledge. From there
you can explore and decide whether you want to invest further time
in learning Linux as a Domino platform. I think you’ll be
pleasantly surprised.”
