Re: [Evolution] Re: [Galeon-user] Regular total lockups with 1.0.1 (and earlier)

[Chris Ford <crford swbell net>]

I am running RH7.2 on several different machines, with several different
hardware configurations, and none of them have ever locked up.  I am
running Evolution with Havoc Pennington's packages, not Ximian's.  From
my experiences with the Ximian packages, they tend to produce unreliable
performance.  I would not blame RH7.2 for the problems.
