It is kind of openSUSE's fault because they install it by default, even with a KDE installation and although somehow not active by default, it does use the CPU and harddisk.
True, if the user did not choose to install GNOME, then Beagle should not have been installed. However, according to other people, Beagle is a lot better on resources now, so this point might be moot.
Nepomuk is two parts. One is the semantic framework, i.e. you can tag files and folders etc. the other is the indexing, aka strigi. The latter is what causes hdd and cpu usage and the current status is that it will be disabled by default in 11.2. Really disabled, not like beagle.
Yes, I know. The Semantic desktop sounds interesting on paper. Only time will tell how well it works out in really life.
Thanks for providing that list, it really helps if people go on about government x or y or openSUSE as being the only distro that has to work with these issues.
No problem. People should be made aware of how their governments are selling out on their fair use/fair dealing rights.
Even some versions of MS Windows come without DVD support, so this is not even a Linux issue.
The only versions of Windows that comes with DVD playback support are the ultra-expensive, higher end Vista versions with licensing (from the MPEG-LA, DVD CCA, etc), included in the price.
