Re: [Evolution] Evolution is dying

[Jimmy Montague <rhetoric101 hughes net>]

I'm a newbie. I wouldn't know a diagnostic log from a rubber stamp, so I
can't go there. But from what you wrote, I infer that a distro such as
Mageia would be receptive to Evolution. Mageia offers a choice of
interfaces. I can go with K or with Gnome. If I go with Gnome, then Evo
ought to work just fine -- true or false?

And by the bye -- how can I find the EVO diagnostic log? What's it
called and where does it hide?

Yer doin' great. Thanks!
