Re: [Evolution] Evolution crashes on startup

David,

Ubuntu 15.10 is well-behaved even with older hardware.  Weekend before last, I upgraded a 2007 model hp/compaq dx2200 from 15.04 to 32-bit version of 15.10.  Everything worked perfectly, including evolution 3.16.5.

Just make sure you have everything backed up (e.g. disk image as well as evolution backup file on external hard drive before you do any upgrading.  Also, remember, once your evolution files have been used with 3.16.5 you cannot go back to 3.10.4 because of differences in address-book file structure (or something like that).

Thanks for the tip. I'm not in a hurry to move to Ubuntu 15.10, but it 
sure looks like I'm sliding in that direction.
