In my quest to conslidate my resources and further my ability to do my job from any location on the planet with a decent Internet connection, I have decided to tackle trying to unify my contact information. So far, the best approach I can think of is setting up a LDAP server. I've started playing around with OpenLDAP, but it seems awfully complex considering this is going to be a single-user server. Does anyone have one of the following they'd like to share?

1) A good (and I mean good) no-nonsense resource for setting up a very simple openLDAP server whose purpose is only to be accessable by one user for reading/writing their contact lists... The step by step it is the better

2) A better alternative to LDAP to achieve this sort of unification? Honestly I don't think there is one since one of the requirements to this project is that it works with evolution (or other such client-side mail clients)

Eventually I'll get openLDAP working properly but I rather not waste the cycles to do it if someone already has a working solution.
