[Digikam-users] Change email handler for sending pictures

[DIL23]

unless you want the latest version - it's far easier just to install from the 
repositories that are already set up in Ubuntu - and those versions should be 
stable :) - the latest version(s) may be fab with lots of bells and whistles 
but probably some bugs that may happen/appear in whatever distribution or in 
general.

if you really really want the latest & greatest - for Tar, Tar-ball etc just 
think zip/rar (as in Windoze) that's all it is! There are many archive apps - 
I think Ubuntu uses Ark??? The tarball will always have a READ ME or 
INSTALL.txt to tell you how to install the app.

:)

P.S altho Linux seems very difficult at first you soon get used to it! and 
it'll send shivers down your spine even thinking about going back to Windoze 
in no time ;-)
