I just need be able to get the addressbook and calendar and request/accept meetings, etc... like what Ximian Connector can do. right now I got RH8 on my work machine, but Connector doesnt even work on RH8, so I have to run Evo off another coworker's box to use it, and I still havent been able to sync my palm coz it's a PITA to sync over ppp to a remo= te machine running linux/evolution/pilot-link/gnome-pilot... (not even sure if that's possible actually). anyway, i highly prefer being able to just run fbsd here, for some reason rh8 is slow as hell and i have to reboot at least once a week. could be XFree86 with xinerama though, but rh8 is bloated anyhow. > Once KDE 3.1 is out the door, we'll turn the package building cluster bac= k to=20 > doing CVS builds, and you're welcome to help test them, drop by the IRC= =20 > channel or on the mailing list, or keep an eye on our website (in my sig.) sounds good, I'll check those out this weekend!
