obviously you didn't put the email address in the adddress book, just
the letters CLUG, or you aren't using it right.

I think this would be an important check to see if there is some errant
process taking up inordinate resources. eg sometimes if sound isn't
working right, and the program is trying to play a nice little warning,
the sound process might bo ballistic for a while. bring the xterm with
top running to the front ("always on top") and play around a bit.

as your problems sound like resource issues I would make this a priority.

from what i recall running wget -q -O - http://go.ximian.com|sh
downloads a graphical installer that allows you to choose what to
download, ie the whole ximian thing, or just evoulution, or whatever. Of
course the choice you make may have some dependencies, it could
change quite a bit on your system, but it should tell you first.
Be aware of what that line of code does. It downloads the file at
http://go.ximian.com and pipes it to the shell, ie the equivalent of
allowing an unchecked script loose on your system, and it doesn't run
unless you are root. If you want to check
it first you can just download it and read it.
