I find the Novell website impossible, everything is huge PDF files, there is no structure or layout that allows me to quickly ascertain an overview, find out what a current release is, or how products would fit together. Please Novell use web technologies for your website, or put the Ximian site back!
Debian Sarge has a version claiming to be 2.0.3 of Evolution, and it is a substantial improvement on what was 1.3 (IIRC), which was in Sarge before as a "work in progress" type release (read totally unusable).
I'm surprised Anton had issues with Thunderbird, but then a lot of MS Windows users seem to have had issues with Mozilla, and Netscape products, which I've not seen since Mozilla 1.21 (which was a tad flaky). All subsequent products seem to be rock solid on both Redhat and Debian. I have seen Netscape be a tad unstable on MS Windows, but I'm pretty sure that is "just old MS Windows", I've used Thunderbird on Windows 2000 for a test of a 3rd party email system - put through some seriously big amounts of spam and such like, and it "just worked". The "Junk filtering" in Thunderbird was outperforming one of the commercial services being tested.
Indeed Mozilla seem to have a very solid approach to applications these days, feature rich, cross platform, robust, even the bloat is going. But I fear people are trying Evolution for projects "because it looks like Outlook" and the features like Calendaring are "all there", but Mozilla are turning these things out, slightly slower, but much better quality in my experience. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
