I looked at Karm and thought that would be useful if it were integrated, \
but haven't used it yet due to it being seperate.  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.
