I have experienced some "crashiness" and exchange connector slowness with Evolution 2.4.0 and I see from the wiki that: "Evolution-data-server-1.4.1.1 has been released with a fix for this. All versions of evolution-data-server after 1.4.1.1 would be having this fix in them." The evolution data server that ships with SUSE10 (and after updates) is: 1.4.0-5 But -- it looks from the gnome/evolution web site that I have to either install from source or use red carpet to get an updated version. Does red carpet work in KDE? I thought there was a subscription fee to use red carpet channels, is that gone now, and it's use is free? Is there a down-side to configuring red carpet on my KDE system? Peter -- A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence agst. foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people. James Madison Constitutional Convention (June 29, 1787)
