Sorry, it's just "Clock" in the applets selection window. Right click on
the panel, select "Add to panel", select the "Clock", click "Add" then
"Close". Right click on the clock in the panel to configure it (not much
to configure). Left click on the clock in the panel to drop down a
calendar for the current month. Events for the current day are always
shown. Single click on any other day to see the events for that day.
Double-click on any day to bring up the evolution calendar interface,
where you can enter and edit appointments, meetings and all-day events.

The daily reminders is doable a third way too - set up a repeat alarm in
the alarms dialogue. Snooze time maxes out at twelve hours, I think, so
you'll need a recurring appointment over the days leading up to the real
appointment, or you'll need to set up a repeating alarm.

Evolution is a perfect match for what you said you wanted. Unless there
are requirements you didn't mention... :-)
