From: houghi on 22 Jun 2008 17:12 System freeze with reiserfs and beagle. (Bug #389656). Workaround: do not install beagle. Just so you know. houghi -- All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.

I posted above about installing KDE 3.5 using package management and the appropriate pattern. Among the tons of other junk pulled in that way was -- BEAGLE. Now I have to kill the beast all over again. It is probably the most annoying chunk of software around, at least in my opinion. -- --- Paul J. Gans

Using 10.3, I tore many hairs out until I finally got rid of that Frankenstein Monster (at least I hope that I killed it.) Godzilla

And who needs locate if you have read `man hier`. ;-) I seldom use locate. I use pin (which I have re-written bug #402545) or `which` for scripts. The advantage of using pin over locate is that it also tells me where a file SHOULD be even if it isn't installed. I do use the ARCHIVE.gz from the oss website and not from the DVD as there is more infor on the one from the website. I am thinking of adding the non-oss as well. With pin I can easily find what I need to install if some program complains about something not being there. `which` I aslo use often in the comandline. I used to do `which program.sh` and then `vi /path/to/program.sh` Now I do 'gvim `which program.sh`'. That opens the program wherever it might be located and I can start editing it. houghi -- Theologians can pursuade themselves of anything.
