Point Thunderbird's mail folder to a place on your server so that you can access your mail from your Linux box or your non-Linux box. I wrote up a long dissertation on setting up FC as a dev workstation. The thing needs work, but the back half of the article may be interesting in terms of how I set up my desktop. No icons on the desktop except when I plug a USB thingee in. The panel has icons for... - lock workstation - logout workstation - Show Desktop - Konqueror (file mgr) - Terminal - Firefox - Thunderbird - gFTP (the only gnome thing I run, cuz kde's ftp tools are awful) - OOo - Quanta - Gimp - KIconEdit - Music Player (XMMS) - Kate (God's own editor, along with Whil's own icon, available at www.datamuscle.com.) And on the far right, icons for volume control, a calculator, battery monitor, and the clock.
