Re: [Evolution] Ubuntu 15.10 Gnome and Evolution

[John Lauterbach <lauterba bellsouth net>]

Hello Pete,

I posted on this list as the Ubuntu variant I tested is the one reportedly 
built by the Gnome-3 team, and it uses the Gnome desktop, not the desktop 
favored by Ubuntu developers.  Also, unlike the regular Ubuntu distros that 
come from Canonical, this one had evolution installed,  No Thunderbird!

You'll have to ask on the Ubuntu lists about that.  Despite recent
activity, this list, like Evolution, is supposed to be distribution
agnostic.

But perhaps they just haven't bothered to do it yet.
