Beagle is not alone, the update of manpages is also tax on computer..
Not to mention ZMD. I thought I was going to have to turn off beagle, but once I removed ZMD my system stopped becoming unresponsive and I no longer felt the need to disable beagle. I've never had beagle make my system unusable but ZMD used to do it all the time. It was tempting to blame beagle because beagle indexing and ZMD updates were often running at the same time, and the combination of the two is a real killer.
As a new user, what is ZMD and is it necessary for system functionality?
Dwain,
It is: http://en.opensuse.org/Zmd
and it is not necessary, since YaST is doing for years all that zmd should do for individual user, but without hogging resources on smaller machines, ie. without problems :-)
Install opensuseupdater if you want notifications about security updates. I wanted.
Than remove zmd, zen-updater, zen-installer, zen-remover and rug.
thanks for all of the advise. i removed a lot of unwanted programs and it seemed that with the dependencies stripped the system bare. i haven't rebooted yet, but i'll find out what's what here shortly. gotta reboot. cross your fingers. dwain -- Dwain Alford Alford Design Group P.O.
