[Evolution] New list member and curious.
I've never heard about Evolution before. Can one use this email client without using the desktop? I'm very disgusted with Windows Mail. I really don't care for Thunderbird's set up. I wanted something closer to the functionality I had with Outlook Express. I quite literally stumbled over the name of this email client when I downloaded Open Office. I refuse to have Office 2007 and I won't buy another copy of Windows 2003. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Those are noble goals, but while you don't need GNOME to run Evolution, this is still a UNIX application. That said, quickly googling around yielded some results for Windows versions of Evolution. See for instance http://shellter.sourceforge.net/evolution/ for a fairly recent (though not completely) version of Evolution that installs or runs on Windows.

Hi Javier Kohen:) Oh thank you:) My XP machine is in the shop getting the CD burners fixed. It's still under warrantee so I'm making them fix it on their dime, LOL. But when it comes home guess what I'll be doing? LOL. I love trying out new stuff. Hopefully these guys will eventually get a version running for Vista. I bought this machine as a backup. It had everything I wantd in my price range. The guys online like Tiger direct still had their XP machines with 512 mg of DDR memory at the same price I got this for. This one had 2 Gigs of memory already installed and a much larger hard drive. I have to confess I was also curious about the new OS. I don't have time right now to fool around with building a machine. When I do I want to try a LINUX OS. Sigh, but that's in the future. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

If you are somewhat comfortable with the idea of repartitioning your hard drive you can set up a dual boot system and have both operating systems on the same machine. There may be a Linux User Group (LUG) near you that could help you with that. Nailz When I do I want to try a LINUX OS.

If you don't want to partition your disk, you can also try VMware (www.vmware.com) which among other things will allow you to run a complete Linux system under Windows or vice versa. 2GB or RAM is more than enough to do this comfortably.

Re: [Evolution] New list member and curious
Thank you Patrick. I may just do that. I plan on adding more memory too so I may just buy one of those too at the same time. Believe it or not I have 2 gigs of memory on this thing and a lot of times I only have 35% free. Something is certainly a resource hog. I've usually only got firefox open and WMP going at the same time. I'm waiting to add a new anti virus to my machine. Zonelabs does'nt have a Vista compatable anything yet. I do love my zonealarm. I think I'm gonna try Macaffee for an antivirus this time round. As soon as the three months of Norton are up on this machine; On 6/2/07, Patrick O'Callaghan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, 2007-06-02 at 06:02 -0400, carpetnailz wrote: On Sat, 2007-06-02 at 04:36 -0500, Elizabeth Wright wrote: Hi Javier Kohen:) Oh thank you:) My XP machine is in the shop getting the CD burners fixed.
