And with that, there would not be any benefit to the average user IMHO, as slocate is updated usually nightly ( when installed ) and as such if the utilities were using the results obtained from that utility, it might apply changes which would be detrimental to the system, assuming changes have been made to portage or installed apps since the updatedb run. -- Beau "Did It!"
