When I installed Ubuntu - I set up my system as a dual boot. I have twin 160 Gb

Also - downloaded Skype ran dpkg -i "skypepackage.deb" It looks like it installed, shows on the menu but does NOT run when selected. AND strangely enough, when I type locate skype* I get nothing, nada, zip.
When I search for it in Synaptic - it shows the package as installed.
WTF is going on here?? (Learning the quirks of a new distro is so annoying!!)
Should be able to run 'dpkg -L skypepackage' and get a list of all the
files it installed.
I've, with much regret, switched my laptop to Fedora Core 4. Not regret
out of FC disappointment particularly, but out of leaving debian... yum
is pretty good, but i doubt I'm going to have the variety of packages
that are available for debian..

Subject: Re: [RLUG] changing distros
Hey Dennis,
I don't use evolution -- so I'm taking a wild stab here. It should be
possible to export your mail/etc from evolution on Suse into a file that
can be easily imported into evolution on Ubuntu. This should be a
function of the evolution software.
Wait! Is Suse still running? I'm confused.

Hey gang,
I'm in the process of changing distros from Suse to Ubuntu. I have a copy of everything
from the Suse /home directory and want to do a few "simple" conversions like:
Transfer my contacts and old pop mail from the Suse version of Evolution
Re-install VMware.
The Evolution issue though seems a bit sticky....
Suse put the Evolution data files under the directory Evolution within
/home/$user.
Apparently Ubuntu takes a different approach. Or do I have to set up Evolution
in Ubuntu first to create the necessary stuff in the /home/$user?
Anybody have info on this?????
Thanks
Dennis
