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.
