NOTE: For people running SL 4 x86_64, that have the 32 bit (i386) version of
firefox installed.  You will need to install the 32 bit versions of evolution28
by hand, because yum probably will pull in the x86_64 version.  To install the
correct versions by hand you should do
    yum install evolution28-glib2.i386 evolution28-gtk2.i386
    yum install evolution28-pango.i386 evolution28-cairo.i386
    yum install firefox.i386

Thanks
Troy
p.s. The evolution28 packages were just pushed out today, so if you are trying 
to do this right now, you will probably have to do a "yum clean all" before 
doing this.
