That is what I want to get done that I haven´t figurred out how to do. Henry - When you installed Evolution on Windows, did that allow you to move your email history to the Linux box?

(Count me as one) I just finished installing Evolution on a Windows 2000 Pro box yesterday. Of course, like any good Linux Freak, I wash my hands every time I have to touch a Windows machine. Anyway, Evolution has been ported to Windows and while it works a bit different, it's still Evolution and is a good replacement for the Outlook Virus Distribution Agent. Get it here; http://shellter.sourceforge.net/evolution/ Never mind what the article say, it will work on Win 2K Pro. Oh, btw, Don Ray, what's the problem? I thought that was the way Windows was supposed to work. :) Here’s good news for all you Evolution cheerleaders.

I have used the Suse Linux, but think I like the UBUNTU better. It does have a learning curve, but I seem to have everything working now. I understand Kevin.

When I retired from the Baltimore City Police Department in 05, they had already converted there servers to Suse Linux. Why you may ask? Security, reliability, and cost. Linux is not perfect and it does have its own learning curve. But I do like its security, reliability, and cost. Yes I do donate. Keep up the good work. Hope to make it to Panama one day. Take care. Don,

I won't tuch it, too evil. When I walk by a copy of it at a local computer show the box starts talking in tounges. Way to evil for me. Don't get me wrong I don't dislike windoze, it does a lot of things well. It's just the people who run the company are very devious. More on that later. Later is here. The Evil empire made a registry entry for the Office Suit in 1999 so that it would phone home to Microsoft any problems it was having. Good idea right? Microsloft liked it so much that it tweaked the software to send even more info too Redmond. Oh, and the new Genuine Advantage they sell you as a critical up date is nothing more than spyware, along with the usual crashes. Oh, here is link on Vista, it is also full of spyware, along with all the DRM that the Evil Empire wants to get in on (what I can an cannot do with hardware and software) Now they want to sue the Open Source community for copyright infringement. How do you copyright a mathmatical antilogarithm? The link finally: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39087 Later Don,

Check out http://www.gimpguru.org. I do a lot of photo touch up with the GIMP, but my main tool with the D-50 is Bibble ( http://www.bibblelabs.com ), which is a great RAW photo workflow program.
