Evolution is a Gnome application in that it uses Gnome libraries, but that doesn't mean it breaks on KDE (or XFCE or whatever), just that it doesn't integrate as fully as native KDE applications do. As for which distro to use - everyone will have their opinions. Personally I use Fedora - sometimes things break, but they are rare these days and Evolution works fine on it. Others will come along and tell you what a crap distro Fedora is or you don't want to go anywhere near a RedHat product - but that Arch or Mint or Debian or Gentoo or whatever is the only sensible way. > > And by the bye -- how can I find the EVO diagnostic log?
