Even then, what you asked for, it already has. As I mentioned, it has auto-completion for email addresses (I use that feature every day) and an email address book. Evolution's address book can connect to an LDAP server, import them from other clients, and IIRC, get them from an MSExchange2K server (which is LDAP anyway, as I recall). It even provides you an interface for maintaining a schedule, and can do free/busy. > > > What do you mean when you claim that SO doesn't "talk" to Linux and > > vica-versa?

Simply bein in a menu does not constitute integration. The aforementioned psyche list does indeed have a solution for adding menu items. The link given is: http://www.bluethingy.com/linux/rh8menu.html Integration is what leads to you double-clicking that SO file and it opening the apprpriate application. SO5.2 is an abomination that should be purged from the earth. ;^) That said, I think it is wrong to blame "Linux" for what a software vendor fails to do. If I were to write an app for Windows that failed to uninstall properly, would you blame me or Microsoft? If you blamed MS, you would be wrong, but at least you'd be consistent. ;^) > Much as I enjoy the challenge it really gets old having to struggle with > almost every app, commercial or freeware. I simply don't have time and If the struggle with a commercial app is not worth it, don't spend the money on it. If it is a hassle, hassle the company that made it. You may not have noticed, but OpenOffice (essentially SO) is included in RH, is in the menus, on the taskbar, and is the default office-type document program. Therefore, it meets your definition of "integrated". :^) It also requires no effort other than leaving it in the default install. -- Bill Anderson RHCE #807302597505773 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
