Hello all,

Well I just tried the 0.10 version of Evolution. I Red-Carpet'ted it from
Ximian.

Screenshots here: http://tara.mozcom.com/evo.html

It SEEMS somewhat usable. The first time I ran it, the thing said it
needed to set something up, then silently died. The second time I ran it
(from a terminal this time), produced lots of assertions like Mozilla but
ran OK.

I was able to check some mail from my IMAP mailbox, compose and send a
rich-text message (see the screenshots). Looks more stable than last I
checked.

Oh but you'll be overjoyed: memory footprint with one Evolution Mail and
one Evolution Composer window open: 56MB.

Add to that, oh, 45MB for Nautilus and another 50MB for Mozilla.. and
you're looking at > 150MB memory footprint. What about X? it's a huge hog
too.

My 256MB Linux box is SWAPPING. But then 256MB costs 2200 now. I think
I'll up this to 768MB. Still have two free DIMM slots.  =)

Still, bloat is bloat. Windoze wouldn't know what to do with 768MB, and on
this machine of mine Windoze flies.. most of the time (the other times
it's flat in a tarpit of re-installs).
