I guess what we are all saying is that using RPM or any package manager is like using a checkbook balancing program. If you are diligent and thorough in it's use, it can provide great rewards. If you aren't, it is pretty worthless. Rich Cloutier President, C*O SYSTEM SUPPORT SERVICES

Hi, all. Just some stuff I thought I'd share, as I don't recall seeing any mention of it. I've been using (or attempting to use) Evolution, on and off, for just over a year now. A year ago, you were lucky if it got past the splash screen. Now? It's gotten good. Granted, the GUI-hating
