I get, "Could not create composer window: unable to activate HTML editor component." Version 1.0 of Evo shouldn't have this problem, it's one of the core features.
Maybe it's not Evolution, maybe it was Red Carpet (I do have the latest Red Carpet) not installing something. Maybe it's an isolated case, probably not. But, it still doesn't look good on Ximian's part.
Someone may reply to this saying, "It's simple you damn newbie, just blah blah blah", but 1.0 should work with no tweaking involved. I mean, this type of software is for simplicity; to make newer people comfortable in Linux, right? They are going to have less of an idea on how to fix it, and when they hit a wall like this will, 99% of the time, reboot and go back to windows. They don't want to hear it. For me, i'm sticking with what works... pine is great.
I installed 8.0 and was not very happy with it. The most annoying thing is that my mouse wheel didn't work very well; i had to click it down and then scroll to get it to work the way i had expected it to work. it seems like they wanted to add that as a feature (unclicked does one thing, clicked does another); but if it is a feature, where can i configure it so i can disable it.
Another thing was that it felt very lagged. I have a 400MHz, nowhere near the fastest computer, but i would have thought the performance would stay close to the 7.2 release.
I had to revert back to 7.2; although I would have liked to stay with some of the new cool stuff in it, namely nautilus, evolution, and GNOME 1.4; the new GUI lilo and graphical boot/shutdown sequences weren't a bad touch either.
