Re: [LUG] Ubuntu, Kubuntu which to start with ?

 

I have just spent time thrashing through various email clients to find one 
acceptable to my boss (wife) on my SimplyMepis with KDE and have surprisingly 
settled on Kmail.  I tried Evolution which worked well but would not follow 
internet links.  I had to copy and paste into a browser.  I assumed this was 
due to something missing in KDE as against it's native Gnome but I certainly 
could be wrong.  (Don't let my wife know about the possibility of my being 
wrong)
