I was unaware that Google came up with a Linux version of Desktop, but I'm glad to see they created a Debian package. I've just installed it and I'm trying it out now... Kind of disappointed they went with GTK (it's fugly on a Motif scale IMO), and it doesn't seem to support searching across PCs like the Windows version does yet. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP Google Talk): [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

So I uninstalled it again. Did anybody try it? Hugo I saw it on slashdot, and thought about trying it. I have used Google Desktop on my WinXP box, and I have to say, I do not like that deskbar thing, or the 'floating taskbar' whatever-you-call it. I do, however enjoy desktop search. But, Kerry/Beagle are a perfect desktop search component for Linux. And there is even, for Gnome users, the deskbar applet to make it like Mac OSX Spotlight and the Google taskbar search. One advantage/feature of Google Desktop is that it also indexes Gmail messages. But I use Kmail with Gmail, so Beagle/Kerry does that, too. I guess if you just use Gmail web mail this would be helpful. I just don't have the need. -- Matthew K Poer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Location: GA, USA Web: http://matthewpoer.freehostia.com GnuPG Public Key: 4DD0A9A6 Keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net pgpk2F3kSzoSr.pgp Description: PGP signature
