For my part, I really don't care if c-n-f is a part of default install or not. I know how that the tool exists and how to install it. The question is: Do we want our users to know about it? Do we care about their experience? Do we want a head start on the competition? If there is more negative response, c-n-f will not be installed by default. If there is more positive acceptance, it will stay. If we hadn't enabled it by default now, we would have never known.
That is actually why I have started this discussion in public, after all :-)
I personally think that if you run into the feature and don't want it, it's just a matter of it happening once and then you uninstall it, but the other way around it may mean that you never see it even if you'd find it useful. Especially considering what kind of users should be the first and second case.
The other thing is that I just kind of could not believe at first that any reasonably well written software can be that horribly slow on my otherwise wonderfully fast workstation. What does it really have to do, search in ~1M of filenames? Is it really that much?
I do not really know, and I might not know what it is all about, I am just asking. But I thought that searching could be done much faster on recent hardware.
Unless you have SSD as your disk in the machine, your recent hardware is not wonderfully fast as long as you have anything non-trivial that needs reading from disk. Even just starting bash takes a short while after you drop disk caches. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 972 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
