Just speaking to calendarserver, I used it with a Debian VPS for awhile,
just among Apple client devices, though (I started using it before
iCloud was released). Eventually I had to rebuild that server, and at
that point just switched to iCloud for my personal calendar since it was
one less service to administer. It wasn't due to any major
dissatisfaction with calendarserver, though.
