Hi there!

1st: Apt.
You can get apt from ayo.freshrpms.net. There is a version, devel, that
works with F3tx. Even as repos configured. just go
to /etc/apt/sources.list, and comment all but:

# Fedora Linux Development
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/development/i386 core
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 freshrpms
rpm-src http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/development/i386 core
rpm-src http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 freshrpms

2nd: i did not see synaptic for FC3tx arround yet...

3rd: My instalation of Evolution worked fine... migrated all data
withount any probs.. i use IMAP.. :) the best way to keep contacts is to
sell all as vcard ( select all at the same time) and send a mail to your
self.. it worked for me. some times, don't know why, it only send one
vcard. be carefull. But i'm not an evo expert..
