What do you find more complicated? I use both recoll [GUI] and locate [CLI], under different circumstances. Usually locate to just find a file name if I'm at the cli, and recoll if I'm looking for something in the contents of files. I would agree locate is simpler for just file names, if you have a Konsole open. Are you more interested in file names rather than contents? -- rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
