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...

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
