Although Gnome is my preferred Environment, the dependency chain is 
ridiculous.
I don't use Evolution;  however, if I uninstall it, deps would remove 
Gnome =P
I am not sure if it is the LSB, Fedora or Gnome deps, but when I install 
Fedora I get
web servers, DNS servers and mail servers installed and all I want for 
this machine
is a desktop type install, after all it is a laptop.

Side note: I can't wait for Desktop LSB to done, I hope that Linux 
distro installers
will have an in your face option to select Desktop or Server LSB and 
adjust packages
and deps appropriately.
