Hi.  I'm totally new to Linux and determined to get comfortable with
it.  I have had it with Windows and am equally determined to be rid of
it.  Having said that, I downloaded and imaged Fedora 3.0.  I have it
up and running and like it a lot. I am using Thunderbird for my mail
client, but I would like to try KMail for KDE.  Everyone tells me that
it is packaged in Fedora 3.0, but I'll be darned if I can find it!  Is
it in there?
      

Hi, Red.

When you installed FC3, did you install the KDE environment?  I believe it
is actually turned of by default when you first install FC3.

I'd check out the kde-redhat project, at http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net.
You can get the complete KDE 3.4 desktop environment there, supported for
Fedora.  KMail will be part of that install.
    

One other thought.  Make sure you are logged into the KDE environment. The 
default is to use the GNOME desktop environment. You can select the desktop 
at the login screen. To change the default desktop to KDE you can do the 
following:
1) open a command line window (terminal) 
	(in gnome I think it's system tools-->terminal)
2) run the command:
    switchdesk KDE

3) restart the X-server
 (Control-Alt-Backspace) or reboot
