it is an extensive database. "man hald"

btw, after other post, out of curious, i tried "locate bin/ls" to find
that it works better, as in faster, than "locate ls|grep bin/ls".

also, can anyone pass along locations of 'hald' and 'locate' databases?
i am now curious as to size and type.

graphics chips and sound chips are dedicate types of a cpu's, and
considered as 'gpu' and 'spu'. so you can presume that as cpu's advance,
so will gpu's and spu's.
