I don't recommend Debian for more up to date GNOME at the mo', I'm
afraid!! RedHat + Ximian Red Carpet seems the best bet, to my mind. Most
up to date, and also Red Carpet is very nice.

GnuPG support?? Erm.. s'been doing that since version 0.9 :) So.. that's
no major things it lacks then! I find it extremely stable (I came into
work on Monday morning, and had 1107 emails in my inbox. I 'get mail'd,
and it got them all, no complaints. VFolders, everything - it all
worked. If it works under that many emails, I'm pretty confident. The
only strangeness left I've found is some attachment oddities from time
to time, but it's much better than it was, and much more integrated
also. I recommend giving it a go, at the very least...

I have to say, I like Nautilus too, although I don't have it installed
currently - it wanted an old version of Moz, and I wanted to move on...
ho hum.

Cheers,
