 Why isn't my network entirely Linux based? Can anyone tell me?

 So what does everyone else use? I know SAM has a Rocket setup mixed with SfB that is not being used, instead just using Skype... coliver is using AIM still. Anyone else using an on-premise solution? Preferably free & open source.

 I forgot to add.. preferably something that we can use to pull from Active Directory without extreme difficulty. I can allocate some time to this project, but I'm looking for something that has a fairly small footprint and doesn't require tons of time to setup (basically, the opposite of SfB).

 My Last place used openFire exclusively for internal stuff. I may switch my family from Skype over to RocketChat.

I think that pretty much everything talks to AD these days.

No internal communication can be hosted by a provider. Has to be something on-premise.

It is actually a really easy setup.

 Maybe I'll look at Rocket or OF then. SfB is still being pushed hard by some, but recent events have me looking into another direction entirely.

It is actually a really easy setup. Seems like most everyone uses that way.

It is actually a really easy setup. I don't even have AD deployed yet, but I do have an openfire server connected to a SAMBA4 DC. It makes me want to AD connect all the things.
