If you're looking for just an email/calendar solution, I 
recently setup a local Massachusetts Housing Authority using 
Thunderbird with the "Lightning" and "Provider for Google 
Calendar" extensions. It's working out great for them. Not 
only can they share their calendars if so desired, they can 
also access their calendars from off site (on their home 
computers, laptops etc...) quite easily as well. The only 
problem with this setup is that when using the Google 
extension, the "tasks" function is unavailable. 

It's been up and running for a while now and seems very stable 
for them. 

As an aside, they are using Ubuntu 7.10 on all of their 
desktops (6) and (1) laptop with Crossover Linux running IE6 
for a very few required state websites that are Internet 
Explorer only. Their server is currently running OpenSUSE 
(soon to be Ubuntu 8.04 LTS).
