Hi,
I've upgraded my Fedora from F9 to F14 with preupgrade and am now planning a new hard drive install and a fresh Fedora install to whatever's current when I get to it. I've wanted for a long time to have a non-google desktop search that would index browser history and emails at a minimum. Beagle would fill the fill. The last time I tried it was about three years ago and it was such a cpu hog that I had to take it out.
Reading some recent articles and reviews makes Beagle seem still to be the tool of choice but it doesn't seem to have had much activity recently from the developer side. Of cours, this may just be because the feature set is complete and working, which might make it useful and stable, a nice pair of attributes. Does anyone have better info on this? or even better, some recent experience?
TIA
Dave

and why in the world are you upragding only to F14? nobody here cares about F14 because F17 is the latest supported release

You must speak for oneself, Reindl. I myself still run several F14 boxes and so far I do not want upgrade them, simply for several reasons: - they are quite stable, much more than F16+ ones (F15 was rather unusable, I almost avoid it). - they works as I want, not as wind blows (yes, have you someone tried e.g. switch to runlevel 1 and then back to runlevel 5 (oops, rescue.target/graphical.target ;) - they use stable pretty Gnome2 WM - they act as LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) servers (which seems dead with F15+)
Of course, some drawback is that F14 isn't supported yet and I have package some important packages itself, but this isn't too big problem. And yes, if I had know 2 years back how will be next Fedora development take, then I should have at these boxes Centos or some *buntu distro (where is LTSP supported well).
As rather optimist, I hope F19 will be at least so good as F14 was.

no - having unsupported operating systems in production and connected to the internet is plain stupid, you can put your head in the sand and ignore it, but thats the fact
I myself still run several F14
big mistake
so far I do not want upgrade them, simply for several reasons
there is no one
they are quite stable, much more than F16+ ones (F15 was rather unusable, I almost avoid it).
you must do something wrong
had F15, F16 and now F17 in production they are stable
- they works as I want, not as wind blows (yes, have you someone tried
e.g. switch to runlevel 1 and then back to runlevel 5 (oops, rescue.target/graphical.target ;)
what are you doing taht you nedd runlevel 1?
- they use stable pretty Gnome2 WM
who needs GNOME?
- they act as LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) servers (which
seems dead with F15+)
well and why the hell do you use fedora if you need RHEL/CentOS?
Of course, some drawback is that F14 isn't supported yet and I have package some important packages itself, but this isn't too big problem.
ah and you package all of the security updates too?
And yes, if I had know 2 years back how will be next Fedora development take, then I should have at these boxes Centos or some *buntu distro (where is LTSP supported well).
you have only two options
* upgrade * pull the network cable
As rather optimist, I hope F19 will be at least so good as F14 was
F17/F18 are stable and working fine F18 only if you upgrade from F17 because anaconda

- these boxes aren't directly on internet. Even if they would be, they will not offers many services to internet and there isn't problem secure them. - it seems as my experience is different than Your, perhaps You are using other software than I.
Anyway, You must address Your hints in this area to someone another's. Your extreme words aren't well-founded for me, sorry.

good so

laughable
how do you secure a machine with so security-updates? YOU patch tke kernel? YOU patch the network stack?
even without a service offered it would be naive to feel secuer with such a machine - maybe you should read how intrusions in the last few years happened even for machines behind a NAt router with no public service to get a picture

Of course, there may be some danger of intrusion, as always, but - internet browsers and mail clients are regularly updated, luckily Mozilla offers RPM packages, flash-plugin are actualizad too. - some other SW (OpenOffice and so forth) is downloadabe in actual versions and as RPM packages too. - as I wrote before, I packaged some RPMs itself - some RPMs from RHEL/Centos 6 are Fedora14-well-compatible - DoS attack I outlive, compromitation at user level too (unusual traffic is blocked and monitored at firewall], thus only real danger is gaining full controll over the box - but some regular tests and precautions are done.
thus I'm sleeping smoothly. (as now, 2:39 AM my time ;)

I would recommend this too. I use it from time to time, however since I'm on the terminal most of the time, I just use find + grep usually.

I can only agree with You - and maybe locate (from mlocate rpm) yet, along with find and grep, are very powerfull and flexible tools.

Thanks for the info, everyone, I'm trying out recoll and its firefox plugin now, it does seem to work well. And I do use locate and grep, wasn't aware of locate or find will check them out.
