The Kolab server components don't require any X / Windowmanager
components on the server machine.=20

absolutely no problem
The main dependencies are more in terms of OpenLDAP, Cyrus SASL,
BerkeleyDB and the like.

Kolab's GUI is a PHP/Webinterface that speaks exclusively to LDAP.
A perl backend keeps the LDAP in sync with the rest of the server compone=
nts.
A watchdog monitors the services which Kolab consists of.
Services are: OpenLDAP, Cyrus SASLauthd, Cyrus IMAPd, Postfix, Apache,
and Proftpd.=20

debian is fine.
we are preparing the beta release but unfortunately I can not give you=20
an estimate apart from "in the next few days"
