Beagle is a document indexing and retrieval tool for desktop search. It
is really useful if you have years of documents and mail - you vaguely
remember that you saw (or wrote!) something on a particular topic, but
you don't remember where.
Think Google desktop on Windows or Spotlite on a Mac.
If you don't have a lot of documents, it may not be useful. It is
definitely not for servers.
Beagle is still young - and sometimes misbehaves. There are ways to
mitigate this, such as starting beagle without the indexer when you're
running a laptop on a battery.
I've followed beagle since the original nrpms.net release for FC3,
documenting my experience at http://www.antezeta.com/beagle-fedora.html .
FC5 users should skip the installation section, as it is not applicable.
I've not yet extensively investigated FC5 integration - such as the best
way to autostart beagled and beagle-search. Is it still
gnome-session-manager? Thus, feedback is welcome!
