Book description

IBM Lotus software has created IBM Lotus Workplace, an integrated family of products based on open standards. Lotus Workplace combines market-leading collaborative components that can be used with a variety of security-rich clients for simplified access and interaction with other people and a host of collaborative applications such as e-mail, calendaring and scheduling, instant messaging, Web conferencing, team spaces, document and Web content management, and e-learning.

IBM Lotus Workplace products include:
- IBM Lotus Workplace Messaging
- IBM Lotus Workplace Team Collaboration
- IBM Lotus Workplace Collaborative Learning
- IBM Lotus Workplace Web Content Management
- IBM Lotus Workplace Documents

This IBM Redbooks publication is an installation and deployment guide for the Lotus Workplace 2.0.1 platform. We provide detailed installation procedures for installing the Lotus Workplace products on both a Microsoft Windows 2000 server and a Linux server running SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8.1. We also discuss important deployment and planning scenarios, as well as tips, best practices, and techniques for troubleshooting errors during installation.
