Amish K. Munshi, Mandrake-group: Hello Amish, I just drop a line to greet you from Canary Islands (centran east atlantic ocean). There is a very nice email client from Ximian, the "Evolution". It looks great. There are rpms.
Mandrake is a zillion times better than RedHat. As RHat went into the stock xchange, it became a distribution which made (dead-line related) mistakes which it didnt do before. Bad. Also, it is turtle^2 slow*slow. Nah, Mandrake is the way to go. I dont know whether you could buy Mandrake in India (I *love* that country) but I am sure you could get a copy of the distibution from any indian university (Bangalore, for instance).
