If you are using Centos as a desktop, you'll probably want to upgrade to 6.0 at the first opportunity which should get you up to T-bird 3.1.x with a matching thunderbird-ligntening in EPEL. Still need the exchange connector, though. I've come to prefer an android phone for reading the calendar and getting notifications, though - and I normally have a laptop with outlook on my desk. And I could probably live with that or the web interface to create new entries. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
