Of course. I don't run akonadi server at all. And it works just fine. As for all the comments about KDE being 'Vista' I'd like to point out that GNOME uses Beagle (if I recall) which is very similar to Akonadi. GNOME's latest releases suck so bad I will never go back. KDE 4.2 is the best version of KDE4 and is simply amazing. -- Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
