The screen shot of ccal looked similar to lightning but when I installed it I couldn't figure out how to make it look like the screen shot. More research required. You are right. I am using Thunderbird as email client on Windows machines at work. I am happy with Lightning addon (include network calendars) in these installations. But in Linux i prefer the Claws Mail, it has vCalendar plugin, but remote calendars support is limited (or i don't know how to use it). For now i am using the Orage - XFCE calendar application, but it is without network calendars support, then i cannot share my calendars, e.g. between PC and tablet, by simple way. I am looking standalone calendar application too, the best one will with Cal/CardDAV support, but i was no success :-( regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I use the following little script that I borrowed from somewhere: It uses gmessage (you can change to xmessage) and at, and will pop up the message that you typed in originally.

There are lots of great calendars, organisers and reminder tools in the Debian repository - my preference is for ones that intergrate well with other tools.
