Perhaps I haven't looked hard enough, and if this has been asked before, forgive me.

I'm looking for a calendar software that has some sort of feature where I can keep track of assignment due dates.

Preferably -

GTK or Gnome based. I have all the GTK/Gnome stuff installed even though I run Fluxbox and don't want to bog down my computer with the KDE libs if possible.
Export to iCal or directly to Google calendar. This is more of an "icing on the cake" type of thing, but I use Google calendar a great deal as I am usually not on just one computer
Easy on the resources. My laptop has relatively low memory (512MBDDR that is shared with video) and X freezes when anything even relatively heavy is done on it.


I've been looking everywhere, and while I have found a lot of software for Mac OS X (my preferred platform that I unfortunately had to abandon while studying abroad), I haven't quite found anything for Linux that fills those gaps.

Even a plain 'ol calendar would work too. I've tried Sunbird, but it's still too experimental to depend on, and exporting to iCal created some interesting results.

Thanks in advance!

Try evolution. I use it for school, and I really like it. It does understand iCal. It has a task feature (I use this for my assignments). Let me know what you think of it.

Also, if you don't like evolution, I'm sure you can find something at http://www.gnomefiles.org (http://www.gnome-files.org)
