One word: Beagle. http://www.gnome.org/projects/beagle/ For some impressive demos (requires flash plugin) check out: http://nat.org/demos/ The most impressive demo IMHO is the Live Queries: http://nat.org/demos/beagle-2.html I'm running Beagle on my notebook (pretty simple to get running under Ubuntu) and it's very impressive. The indexer is very fast and when run with an inotify kernel (which Ubuntu Hoary ships with) the indexer is instantly notified when a files contents have changed and re-indexes its contents. _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list http://www.cwelug.org/ [email protected] http://lists.firepipe.net/listinfo/cwe-lug
