To quote Graham Cobb, a (the?) primary developer of GPE:

"Although the stable update will be made available in the Extras repository, this beta release is available in the "extras-devel" repositories. To see the update you should add a catalogue to the Application Manager as:

Catalogue name: extras-devel
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
Distribution: your distribution name: gregale, bora, chinook or diablo
Components: free"

Once this repo is added, just just go to the app manager and loog for the GPE items under "Installable Applications"

I would recommend you at least read the first post by Graham that has a few pointers about this release here:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=22219

The GPE suite is quite good but still has some quirks, The recent update has fixed a few things and the suite wors well together. I would recommend the GPE Summary which sits on your Tablet desktop and provides a summary of that days upcoming calendar items and a few lines from you ToDo list. You can also aunch calendar (which can now be fully closed) by touching a calendar entry on the summary window.

I like the ToDo because it allows single entries to be placed in multiple categories and then you can search and sort by these categories.


Also just recently installed the GPE File manager and it shows 'everything' unlike the built in one which hides almost everything interesting from the user.

Hope these comments are a help. Cheers.
