Ah... Yet another Linux faux pas. What in the world is top posting? And good god, I wouldn't want to irritate experienced Linux personnel just because I'm interested in learning about the program(s).
You people make wanting to learn about this system, which has potential, into an excuse to flame those who aren't in the know. Forget it, I'm at the point of just paying $300 for Windows 7 and $300 for Office 2010 in 6 months. At least I'll get support from Indians who want to help, even if I can't understand them. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick O'Callaghan [mailto:p...@usb.ve] Sent: Friday, December 04, 2009 5:27 AM To: evolution-list@gnome.org Subject: Re: [Evolution] How do you install 2.29 on Ubuntu 9.10?

You should re-read what has already been said about this. Windows "beta" versions are essentially working systems that just need some polishing before MS commits to full-scale public support. Evo pre-release versions, especially early in the development cycle, are really only aimed at people wanting to test and improve the software itself by compiling, debugging and hacking on the source code. IOW they are the equivalent of *internal* MS test versions, which of course the public never sees. > I have some changes that I want to recommend to whoever is designing this. > It looks like Outlook, but is far less functional.

Could you tell me where to post this? http://bugzilla.gnome.org. poc PS Please don't top-post on this list. It's an Outlook-ism that many people find very irritating and counter-productive. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
