Ximian Connector is a commercial plug-in for evolution that connects it to
an exchange server.  There is an open source replacement for exchange server
under development by a different group.  Such a server will allow a linux
box to serve outlook clients.  This should also allow imap clients access to
the same mail.  Since samba as a pdc breaks some exchange functionality, a
conversion I regretfully made, I'm really looking forward to this product.

Eh.. ok.  Good enough perhaps, but could be better.  I just got a visor and
have started playing with it.  "Synchronization" where changes have been
made on both the palm and the computer for different items results in
duplicates on both!  However one-way sync works well and each item type can
have it's own direction or be disabled.  For instance, I copy tasks and
calendar items from the palm to evolution.  However my contacts I copy from
evolution to the palm.  I'm still working out my system though.  This all
works, usually!, at the touch of the hot sync button.

I've specified my browser of choice.  It was trying to open galeon when I
installed it.  I ran an strace to discover this thanks to kbob.  I ran
the gnome-control-center (gnomecc) and switched it to mozilla.  See default
applications/web browser.

I don't use evolution for email, although I certainly would if I wanted a
graphical based one.  I like mutt far better.

That is impressive!
