[gentoo-user] advice for a desktop search package?
Hi, I'd like to know, in your humble or less humble opinion, what's a good desktop search package for Gentoo. Preferibly I'd like KDE integration.

Hello b.n., I'd like to know, in your humble or less humble opinion, what's a good desktop search package for Gentoo. Preferibly I'd like KDE integration. I am aware of the following: - Beagle - Strigi - Kat Kat is defunct. Beagle has a KDE front end, Kerry, but I found it a real resource hog (Beagle, not Kerry) although using an encrypted home directory doesn't help there.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Intel D975X or NVidia 680i for stable, fast Linux box?
I'm looking into upgrading to Intel Core 2 Duo (or Quad) family - perhaps the E6600 Conroe. I'm trying to figure out which motherboard/chipset would suit my needs best. I'm planning to install Gentoo Linux on the system, and I need it to be, first and foremost, stable and reliable - mainly to be used for number crunching (e. g., Mathematica), simulations, etc... No gaming. I'm between getting an Intel board with the D975X chipset and a board with the NVidia 680i chipset. Which of these chipsets is more favored in the Linux community and which might do better with number crunching applications? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
