This page describes the installation of the [http://cryptobox.org CryptoBox] server-package in a openSUSE 10.2 environment. The server-package is primarily built for Debian but also works in other Linux distributions. Unfortunately you have to fulfil some dependencies manually, which takes a bit more time.
