And just for your general information, with Beagle installed, SuSE was using 1.5Gig of Memory and 256Meg of Swap. After removing Beagle and a reboot, I have 887Meg free and no swap used, I would think that Beagle qualifies as a HOG. I don't care what it offers as an advantage, it isn't worth that, (I have about 2 Gigs of EMail it was indexing) Gary B Joe Sloan wrote:

It looks good, but it won't remove beagle because kerry needs it.
But in general I agree with your elegant approach.

You can safely remove kerry and anything beagle.
Right, and I always remove kerry - I was just pointing out a flaw in the one-liner provided earlier as an example.
and make some noise about it, perhaps it can attract the attention of developers that develop bloated software.
In my mind it is really sad that anything not related to gaming or heavy duty engineering simulations abuses hardware thousands of times harder than it could or should... it used to be that open source software was a lean and mean fighting machine, now the typical linucs install is about 2-3x that of an xp partition, don't know anything about vista. and running the proggies often brings up situations like beagle or a software update, much better than 10.2 but still awful timewise, on dual core or even quad core cpus with oodles of ram!!!!!
Well it still can be very lean and mean, but if you install suse, you have to do some work to get it that way.
