I'd hate to >have it said microsoft outlook can do something useful linux cannot? Since I don't use Outlook, I'm not sure what the "something useful" it can do is. And "calendar for linux" does not actualy name any program I am familiar with. At first, I thought you were just misnaming the familiar "cal" program, but on reflection, I suspect you want something more PDA'ish. In that case, a quick search of the Debian package database turns up these possibilities: ccal - Colorised calendar utility gcal - Prints calendars gdeskcal - A desktop calendar featuring transparency with smooth alpha-blending gnome-pim - calendar and address book for GNOME gnome-pim-conduits - Palm synchronization for calendar and address book korganizer - KDE personal organizer kronolith - Web Based Calendar Manager plan - X/Motif day planner (dynamically compiled with LessTif) remind - a sophisticated reminder service wmdate - Calendar for window manager docking bars xcal - a graphical calendar with memos and reminder alarms I have not run any of these so cannot comment on their specifics, aside from noting that they are almost all X applications so not actually specific to Linux. To find any of them, your best starting place is the package collection for your distro. If that fails, Google is your friend. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
