Speaker,
Your sources.list file should work just fine. Make sure you've run dpkg-restore, and apt-get update. Then it should work to apt-get install evolution. It's huge though...

I don't have any experience with anything other than Evolution myself, so I can't be of much help. You could try looking for a web-based groupware (something like http://phorecast.org/ ). You could install php and mysql to DSL with MonkeyD, and run it locally. Or, you could install it on a web account, and have access to it wherever you go. Quick n Dirty solution, just use Yahoo Mail's address book? (yuck, I'm sorry I even thought that... *feels dirty*)

Sourceforge >Blackbook is no longer developed or maintained. The coding style is not compatible with the newer GCCs and the author is not willing to fix it. :(

Del-- I got Evolution to run- it's good- yes bloated- and on an older system- not as fast as it needs to be.  I like the suggestion of running PHP and MSQL with the server locally. IF I get the time I may add these to by spare box ( an old P100) I want to convert to a file server and store my MP3's

Thanks

Blackbook may still work even though it is no longer being maintained. If you can find a *.deb (already compiled executable i386 package) or if you can find it in the stable sources list, then you can probably use the program.

I know that it is still part of the Debian pool.

I just tried blackbook. It works fine on DSL and is very simple and fast GTK-based contact manager. No additional downloads for dependencies are required.

Here is how I installed it:

Download and save the blackbook_3-4_i386.deb package from the debian website. The file is 74KB in size.

http://ftp.debian.org/debian....386.deb

Make sure that you have already run the dpkg-restore script. Then open up a terminal shell and type:

sudo su
dpkg -i blackbook_3-4_i386.deb
exit

You can then run blackbook by typing "blackbook" from a shell prompt.

Good Luck.
