Re: [gentoo-user] evolution and KDE
For general use my fav. is KOffice due to how fast and responsive it is. For the most part KOffice does what I need... BUT if you need more MSOffice support then use Open Office...

I very *very* rarely use any office package, so can't comment really, but OpenOffice annoys me due to it's massive bloat, and funky javaness (I know we have at least one openoffice developer in our ranks, so I'll shut up now :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I would like to try it; is there any special configuration required for evolution in KDE? Mostly, there is no such thing as a 'gnome application', or a 'kde application', merely apps written written for different widget sets (gtk, qt, ...). Many will require some/many libs from one, but should work in the other. Or, more simply. Yes, it works fine, I'm using the setup you describe right now :) Just install evolution, portage will do it's job and install everything else you need. -- Mike Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I was planning on having openoffice compile overnit, but I might do evolution instead. It's a beast! Added to all the gnome libs you may need, you could be looking at a few (single digit) hours compiling. I upgraded my laptop (celery 650) to evo 1.2.3 earlier, took a good hour to compile. -- Mike Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
