Since I don't use Outlook, I'm not sure what the "something useful" it can 
do is. And "calendar for linux" does not actualy name any program I am 
familiar with. At first, I thought you were just misnaming the familiar 
"cal" program, but on reflection, I suspect you want something more PDA'ish.

In that case, a quick search of the Debian package database turns up these 
possibilities:

         ccal - Colorised calendar utility
         gcal - Prints calendars
         gdeskcal - A desktop calendar featuring transparency with smooth 
alpha-blending
         gnome-pim - calendar and address book for GNOME
         gnome-pim-conduits - Palm synchronization for calendar and address 
book
         korganizer - KDE personal organizer
         kronolith - Web Based Calendar Manager
         plan - X/Motif day planner (dynamically compiled with LessTif)
         remind - a sophisticated reminder service
         wmdate - Calendar for window manager docking bars
         xcal - a graphical calendar with memos and reminder alarms

I have not run any of these so cannot comment on their specifics, aside 
from noting that they are almost all X applications so not actually 
specific to Linux.

To find any of them, your best starting place is the package collection for 
your distro. If that fails, Google is your friend.
