Re: [Evolution] How do you install 2.29 on Ubuntu 9.10?

Ah... Yet another Linux faux pas.  What in the world is top posting?  And good god, I wouldn't want to 
irritate experienced Linux personnel just because I'm interested in learning about the program(s).

You people make wanting to learn about this system, which has potential, into an excuse to flame those who 
aren't in the know.

Forget it, I'm at the point of just paying $300 for Windows 7 and $300 for Office 2010 in 6 months.  At least 
I'll get support from Indians who want to help, even if I can't understand them.

Pathetic.  Absolutely pathetic.

Completely different scenario. You should re-read what has already been
said about this. Windows "beta" versions are essentially working systems
that just need some polishing before MS commits to full-scale public
support. Evo pre-release versions, especially early in the development
cycle, are really only aimed at people wanting to test and improve the
software itself by compiling, debugging and hacking on the source code.
IOW they are the equivalent of *internal* MS test versions, which of
course the public never sees.

PS Please don't top-post on this list. It's an Outlook-ism that many
people find very irritating and counter-productive.
