Again, I strongly doubt that; few people are properly organized (I'm
not), otherwise Google Desktop wouldn't be the success it is.

If responsiveness and speed are the only qualities we are looking for in
a distribution, then we should throw out Tomboy first because it slows
down startup of GNOME considerably - oh yeah; and GNOME main-menu.

Don't misunderstand me, I love Tomboy - but please understand that your
own usage of a computer might not be the typical case. And, as said,
there are features in openSUSE which have a much more negative impact on
machine responsiveness than Beagle.

Ultimately you have to decide whether you want a feature-oriented
distribution or a slim and speedy distribution. SUSE has always tended
to be feature-oriented, and that is why I am using it.

Greets,
Chris
