I always use Yumex unless I need to install something that was not in the repositories. I'm just a bad searcher. I should have mentioned at the beginning that command line tools are not suitable for me. I almost never have a terminal window open. I also should have mentioned that browser based calendars are not what I want either. I already have too many tabs open all the time. >* Orage -- Calendar / Reminder program for Xfce.

I have it configured and working great. Not only does it do exactly what I want (and nothing more), but I learned something from it. I was trying to change the way it displayed the date and it said I could use any strftime code to change the way it displayed things. I had never heard of strftime before, but now I have a web page bookmarked where all the possibilities are explained. Very handy knowledge to have.
