Re: [gNewSense-users] gNewSense as lightweight PIM server on VIA ARTiGoor Lemote Yeeloong?

[Pen-Yuan Hsing]

Thanks for the tip about the motherboards, I have sent a question to the 
Coreboot list.

As for running Citadel or SOGo on gNewSense, I can't find them in the 
default gNewSense repositories. According to their websites, they can be 
found in the regular Ubuntu repositories. I realise Ubuntu != gNewSense. 
But if I want to install either one of those groupware from a 
repository, which one should I add? That is, there seems to be different 
repositories for different Ubuntu releases? Which one should I use?

Thanks!
