Bash Smart Completion / Auto Completion

After upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, I lost the possibility to auto complete certain commands in bash. For instance, writing "apt-get in" pressing Tab would give "apt-get install". It turned out, that bash-completion was not installed, which is easily fixed

sudo apt-get install bash-completion

Evolution 2.30.1 for Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit

For some reason Ubuntu 10.04 is shipped with Evolution 2.28.3, which for me is quite unstable. Crashes with Segmentation Fault very often. However, Jacob Zimmermann has a PPA with Evolution 2.30.1:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jacob/evo230
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I hope this is more stable!
