I tried the same with outlook once, using its journal to keep track of a few phone calls and such. Then I had to add my extra fields into the journal form and would then have to search in both to find something, it was just simpler in the long run to use the caneldar as a journal. It sounds like Karm is going the right way, if it will be able to open the same calendar file, then it will just be a seperate front end to the same data (unlike outlook where even though all the data is in the same pst file, each task/appointment/journal entry is stored seperate). I'm definatly using the calendar functions now, I have all my data from outlook copied over and create enrties each day for work I do (I have to report it to my manager here, fill our a project tracking report here, fill out a weekly timesheet to the consulting company, and fill out a monthly timesheet here as well, so I take my calendar data and generate each sheet based off of it, now I just nee dto figure out how to do it automated). I haven't tried any CVS stuff yet but as soon as I get some more data copied over from my XP partition I can shrink it and make some more space. I am assuming the CVS is something like M$ visual source safe where it keeps track of versions of code and such. I have been away from the Linux world for a while, last time I ran linux was slackware 2.0 on a 386, but started back a year or so ago when we setup a nagios box on redhat for a monitoring system. There weren't a lot of apps back then, but having recently installed RH9 I see Linux has lot more. ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the HostPortal WebMail system at ninefamily.com _______________________________________________ kde-pim mailing list kde-pim@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-pim kde-pim home page at http://pim.kde.org/
