BTW, what is "Beagle", which is supposed to be SuSE's "Flagship Product"? We've been using SuSE since 5.3 and I can't say I've ever heard of Beagle.

It's the desktop search thing, like the google deskbar, (or was it yahoo?). Looks to me like a feature in search of a problem, but YMMV. The reviewer was drunk - hardly their "flagship product'. Maybe a dinghy...
Beagle is the counterpart of Google Desktop Search. As for it being a "feature in search of a problem," all I can say is: You've got to be kidding! I desperately need this. I've collected hundreds upon hundreds of technical papers and research reports and I can no longer find the ones I need at any given time with any reliability or ease. The version Beagle shipped with 9.3 is a very early version (0.0.8!) and was already out-of-date w.r.t. to the development version when I got my pre-ordered shipment (and recall that I live just a few miles from one of the fulfillment centers used by Novell, so I got mine the very next day). Anyway, I really look forward to this software becoming mature. I need it!
