Evolution
Well, I bit the bullet, pulled down a beta Red
Hat package of Evolution, and gave it a whirl as my
primary MUA. I'm forcing myself to use it for a few days to
see how I like it. There's a few things that are grating on
me, such as it's tendancy to line wrap everything I
send out, includng my 79-character-wide sig (despite it
being rendered on the screen as intact), and the fact that
it's quite a bit slower getting common tasks done in this
client than it was in Mutt, but that could just be
the learning curve hitting me. The integrated calendering
and task management will be handy at work; it's a shame I
still can't bolt it up to Exchange, no
matter how much the client might resemble Outlook.
SubversionI'm
having a blast playing with this thing. A lot of what
they've done makes far more sense than CVS, and the fact
that they're using WebDAV as the network
transport instead of reinventing the wheel is very cool. I'm
finally buying into the idea of Apache as a general-purpose
application management server; with DAV and all the other
extension modules, it's only barely a web server any
more.
Back to Advogato
I realized that it's just not worth the effort
maintaining my own log, and updating the others. So, I'm
back. ;-)
