My main concern is that i have to provide calendar sharing with MS outlook on linux box to one of my client..Please help me..I have heard about scalix, but i am not sure about it, there is one thing more openXchange also. But i have no idea about both of them. If any one can help me, please do sir. I will be very thankful to you all.

You could install VMWare.

I am not clear if you are asking for a linux M$ Outlook compatible server, or 
a linux M$ Outlook compatible client solution. Have a look at this in case it 
helps:

The link I shared below shows you how to save a clients Outlook files on an 
ftp server (this can be a Linux or M$ Windows ftp server), which can then be 
accessed by other Outlook mail clients for sharing purposes either 
anonymously or by providing a password.

I hope this helps.

>From your mails I still don't understand if you have client linux boxes
where you want to run Outlook, or you have a linux server box where you want
to place the shared calendar, with Outlook clients. Anyway, for each
situation:

1. Windows Server running Exchange with Linux clients running Outlook: you
need some piece of software that lets you run Outlook on Linux. You may try
Wine, CrossOver Linux (from CodeWeavers)...

2. Server running Linux with Windows clients running Outlook: you need a
groupware server that lets you use Outlook as a client. OpenGroupware and
Kolab comes to mind, there are commercial plugins that lets you connect
Outlook to both of them.

3. Neither of the two above: if what you really want to do is to share
calendars, but you may have linux on the server and client side and use
other software instead of Outlook, take a look at the list of supported
clients for the groupware server you choose. Novell Evolution and KDE
Kontact are both groupware clients with similar interface and functionality
resembling Outlook, and they can connect to OpenGroupware and Kolab IIRC.

HTH, best regards
Jose
