Indeed. Thanks for that. :)
The only problem I see with Beagle is the amount of disk space required for the indexes. 1.7G on my box, but I have a lot of disk space and the cost is nothing like what my first 32MB hard drive was. (I have two 8GB camera chips that combined cost less....)
Yeah, I can't believe I ever had a machine with just a 20 meg hard drive myself. Of course, I couldn't do a whole lot with it either. :)
Hey - 20 MB is "all you'll ever need" for a mere $2,000! I was just thinking of this - wouldn't the meta-information be better suited to being put on the filesystem? I remember back to the OS/2 days and HPFS. That filesystem - IIRC - had meta information for each file. I don't remember if it was indexed, but I thought that Windows and other filesystems were going to emulate this eventually. -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
