I know many (most?) dislike beagle and turn it off, but I actually have a need to use it right now, and thought it would be a good solution to finding some information I have mis-placed.
I'm the main developer of Beagle, so I'm certainly interested to know why people turn it off. Is it a lack of necessity, is it a failure in user experience, is it misbehaving in some way (including CPU pegging or memory hogging)? This is all useful information to me, and I want to fix any bugs people come across.
My main issue is that I can not get it to run only on off hours. When it is running I am unable to use my machine for anything worth while. It hogs most memory and CPU usuage. I have problems with even the CLI.
I know a lot of people don't want to deal with debugging software, but especially in a community distribution I hope there are those who will help, rather than uninstalling it as a workaround for some issue.
The problem is how do you attempt to debug it when you can not even do CLI while it is running. For example if I ssh to the box running beagle... I am unable to get a connection. I am unable to mount or unmount a NFS share from the machine. Only when beagle is running.

Being a newbie to linux, I have no use for beagle. There is find files/folders and that's enough for me. I too find my system (intel pIII 450mhz and 768mb ram) runs better without beagle than with it. dwain -- Dwain Alford Alford Design Group P.O.
