Guys,

Any recommendations on a date/calendar linux based utility? Something
where I can enter in the times of my meetings and it reminds me when
they are about to happen?

Thanks. Steve.

Look into the GPE programs. They're designed to run on Linux
PDAs but work well on the desktop, too.

gpe-calendar is the specific one, there are a bunch of other
useful bits.

Another is lightning. This is integrated with Thunderbird.
Alas none of these really help me where my PDA is a Blackberry, which I
love, but it does not sync with Linux. While it syncs with Google
Calendar, I got a lot of duplicated entries and Google did not pick up
the entries added by Outlook where I record my work hours. But, I knew
the BB did not sync with Linux when I bought it in favor of another Palm.

I've been using Kalarm (a KDE3 app) for that.  Not sure if it still
exists in KDE4, but if not I imagine there's a suitable replacement.

HTH,
