I am hostile to Ubuntu, it is a distributions with just lousy QC. But that doesn't stop anyone from using it. As I said, I use, and I recommend, openSUSE for a desktop/laptop use-case. And I use Evolution, all day every day, so I can speak to that specific package. > CentOS is same family as Fedora isn't it? Yes, and no. Fedora is a developer distribution, it is very Upstream. CentOS is far down stream. So they are 'in the same family' in the same way that Minneapolis and New Orleans are on the same river; I doubt saying this about them clarifies much of anything for normal users. > So that might be > advantageous for command-line stuff?
