Disabling Beagle is well covered at
Lets face it beagle is nothing more than an excuse for a poorly organised filing system not on the machines behalf but on the side of the user , IF the user was to have a sensible way of creating storing and sorting his files in the first place there would be no need for the unmitigated resource hog in the first place it just allows people to be lax and untidy
so there is no reason for it to be installed there is on the other hand a need to teach people to organise the machines .
Are you a troll, do you really believe that sh*t, or are you a superhuman?
On my workstations I have files that date back to 1983, when I had my first account on a Unix system. I have email archives that date back to 1981, when I got my first email account and started to work on TeX. I have millions of code lines around, from software systems that I worked on (both open source and proprietary).
If I remember that I had something to do, maybe 20 or 25 years ago, with some TeX dude that might be relevant for a historic question today; or if I remember that there was some functionality in some software module that I need to know how it was solved but don't remember the exact name of the system nor the respective module -- are *you* really able to answer such question with *your* properly organized filing system faster than could be done by a personal search engine?
If no, you don't know a thing about the work environment of others and should stop looking down your nose at others.
If yes, I bow deeply concerning your superhuman abilities. You would be the first one that I would have met in my > 30 years of professional IT work who would be able to do so. If I ever overcame my suspicion that this might perhaps not be true; I would eventually be inclined[*] to give you a hint about just two additional things to learn then: (1) others aren't as great as you, you should not think your superhuman abilities are common traits -- and (2) you should really think about adding some minimal social communication skills to your superhuman abilities, they're severly lacking at the moment.

[*] Damn English language -- this shall be Conditional II, native speakers please adapt syntax as needed. Just who the hell do you think you are IF anyone is the troll it is YOU so before you go acting the dumb "IT user" think again it takes very little doing to get organised how do you think i keep track of notes and papers for 3 committees most of which meet 2 or 3 times a month awards presentations calenders emails Addressbook entries bulk email in and out production of a club mag (glossy A5 running to between 30 to 50 pages i know where to find what i want when i want and why because it is ORGANISED simple So before you go shouting troll at the top of your voice shut up and think again
