Will_schestowitz:  Here's the thing:  in some ways, Win7 might just present an even better opening than Vista did/should have.  Here's why:  there is no upgrade-in-place for XP-->7.  It requires a clean install.  Having installed Win7 RC in a VM, I can say that the process isn't much different from a modern Linux install (though the Win7 install takes longer).  If the user can upgrade to Windows 7, they are equally capable of upOct 20 02:25

kecskebakI use Evolution, so it doesn't affect me, but it seems to go against the Linux philosophy of the user choosing which apps they useOct 20 13:47
oiaohmWhat do you mean kecskebakOct 20 13:51
oiaohmFor years I have used mix of kde and gnome to get things done.Oct 20 13:51
kecskebakIf you have a GNOME desktop, try removing EvolutionOct 20 13:51
kecskebakYou cannot completely remove all the packages it installsOct 20 13:51
oiaohmThat is distribution thing.Oct 20 13:51
kecskebakIt's a bit of a IE/Windows situationOct 20 13:52
kecskebakoiaohm: So Gnome can work with no Evolution packages?Oct 20 13:52
oiaohmslackware you can always remove all of it.Oct 20 13:52
oiaohmRemember slackware also allows you to break applications if you wish.Oct 20 13:52
oiaohmGnome can be told to use different email client.Oct 20 13:53
kecskebakoiaohm: I've been able to use a different email client with GNOME, but I've never been able to remove all of evolution's packagesOct 20 13:53
oiaohmYou will find little bits here and there depend on it.Oct 20 13:55
oiaohmThat have to be removed before the final packages can go.Oct 20 13:55
oiaohmgnome-panel is badly packaged in a lot of distributions.Oct 20 13:55
oiaohmSo that applets that depend on evolution cannot be removed without takeing gnome-panel with it.Oct 20 13:56
kecskebakoiaohm: Thanks for explaining that - I've always wondered what the problem wasOct 20 13:56
kecskebakoiaohm: I'd always assumed it was the GNOME project itself at faultOct 20 13:56
oiaohmPartly.Oct 20 13:57
oiaohmGNOME project default packages have it stuck that way.Oct 20 13:57
kecskebakAnd now Evolution has a mono dependency. Curiouser and curiouser ;)Oct 20 13:58
oiaohmDoes not bother me too much I changed my core over to KDE 4.3Oct 20 13:59

kecskebakNo, when you have to help loads of users who are new to computing it is not dogma - it means you can take your lunchbreaksOct 20 14:00

oiaohmMain advantage I find with KDE is the levels of intergration.Oct 20 14:02

wallcI realized this morning that, even after two years away from Windows, I am still (apparently) suffering from "Windows-itis".  It's a common infirmity that targets ex-Windows users. Oct 20 17:04
wallcIts  symptoms include the expectation for everything to be FAR more difficult than it needs to be. Causing the "Windows-itis" sufferer to feel uneasy, distrustful, and confused when faced with actual (possible) simplicity.Oct 20 17:04

wallcok, here's the problem...my old "wallclimber" irc nick stopped working a couple of weeks ago.  I had never registered it, so it was my own fault. However, I'd like to register now.  And yes, I have read the registration instructions over and over again on the Freenode FAQ page. Oct 20 17:07
schestowitzThere's this quote I can't rememberOct 20 17:07

schestowitzAbout people who never ask questions and thus sufferOct 20 17:08
schestowitzThere's also silence id gold, but that's oppositeOct 20 17:08
wallcMy confusion is that the FAQ does not clearly say where, exactly, to put the nick and email information.  I'm sure it must be quite simple and obvious (I mean, even trolls can apparently figure it out, right?)Oct 20 17:08
schestowitzwallc: I registered just once, I can't remember howOct 20 17:08
wallcBut, as an ex-Windows user, I keep looking for a secure registration page, or a "wizard" of some kind...it's ok to laugh), but I'm thinking that (maybe?) the information just goes into the chat box...is that correct...is it really something that simple?Oct 20 17:08

DaemonFCI'm not going to pay $100 a bottle for CrestorOct 20 22:17
DaemonFCIn theory, it's more effective than some of the genericsOct 20 22:18
