As previously said on this thread, we hear people who are unhappy about beagle, but we don't hear people who are happy about it.
We hear only those that want to use openSUSE and at some point took time to investigate what makes computer slower. Those that just install, try and drop, or use, depends on impression, we would not hear and that is for sure the largest group. For me Beagle is just annoyance, never big, but when I add aggressive KMail downloader, number of times when computer doesn't read keyboard, or have jumpy response is getting my attention, and of course I'll remove all that I can to live without. Desktop search is nothing different then any other program. Beagle history of annoying bugs (100% CPU usage, aggressive data collection, breaking reiserfs in a spectacular way [1], leaving large number of temp files) doesn't make it a good candidate for default openSUSE - first impression. I can't remember any other single program that is not "must have" with such history. [1] reiserfs breakage was reiserfs bug, but in years no other program made similar thing. The bad about that problem is that no one in a beagle development team noticed it, which is raising question about their ability to catch serious problems before release hits the street. Letting out problems that affect many openSUSE users doesn't make beagle suitable for openSUSE, specially not as default option. -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
