Xandros

[Tom Jandl]

I use Evolution on Gentoo. The command "emerge Evolution" downloads
source for Evolution *and* all of it's many dependencies and compiles it
to perfection. After the "rpm hell" of Caldera (and others) I'm now a
happy camper. Gentoo works well for me. I will not use an rpm based
distro again.
