gDeskLets, very nice;)
with the dag repository added to apt, i installed gDeskLets
apt-get install gdesklets-goodweather
I think I will use the squirrelmail calendar for my cal, but for the
laptop I needed a gnome desktop program. Anyone know what happened to
the Gnome/GTK calendar program which used cal as a backend and why
it's not installed with Fedora? Perhaps it was called gcal or
gcalendar, I will investigate...
Hum, is there a cal server in which a user can sync their calendar
files from laptop to desktop?
Evolution...
Sorry, I don't use Evolution. I do not want to download my mail and
the imap setup in Evolution isn't pretty with all the folders in the
left pane. I see no reason to use Evolution for just a pim and when
using Evolution as my email client, it does not allow you to customize
all the headers like mutt.
thanks,
