What exactly do you have in mind, something simple like a small office
file/print/email server, or are we talking about a demo of a full-blown
groupware system? Trying to steer people away from Exchange/Outlook is a tall
order when nobody I've spoken to can think of an open-source alternative :-(
Maybe it would be best to pitch the "small budget, small needs" angle?
I could certainly demo a KDE/Star Office setup on low spec hardware, talking to
a headless BIND/NFS/Postfix box (as that is exactly what I'm sitting in front
of now)
Having some RaQ's around could be a good way to demo "rapid intranet
development" maybe.
I think this is do-able, and the free grub is a winner. Lets see some more
hands in the air.
