Beagle is available in debian as well. I used strigi for a while, but I do not remember why I chose that over beagle. Another option also available in debian seems to be doodle, but I have never tried that. / johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Beagle is quite good but it makes use of Mono libraries and I have read some disappointments about this (not only regarding Mono license but also for making the system to run a bit slow wile indexing and to be some resource consuming). So, what would be your recommendations for this task? Any preferred tools for this? I've been using recoll for a while and I rather like it. It's not flashy, but it works quite well.

I've never noticed any issues using it with my GTK+ / Xfce environment. It does bring in several qt libs, but no actual KDE stuff.
