I wondered what others use for desktop search. That is, an indexing program for keeping track of documents on the local computer and providing a fast lookup. I know of Kat, but that has never seemed to work very well and development seems to have halted on the project anyway. Novell is pushing for Beagle, but that requires the installation of a whole load of Gnome stuff (I use KDE), Mozilla (I use Firefox) and Spamassassin. And the dreaded Nautilus.... 180Mb in all, which is all a bit much for me. Any other alternatives out there?

Isn't Beagle part of the default SUSE install? I haven't noticed if it requires all of that stuff - I too use KDE and Firefox, doesn't seem to make a difference. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

It may be on 10.1, but on it's not on 10.0. It features in the package manager, but as i say, needs Nautilus, Evolution, all the gnome libs installing and a mess of other stuff. I was surprised that Kat and Beagle were the only two options for a Linux desktop.... jalal -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
