NOoooooooo!  Kat is dire! It drags the system down to a crawl and keeps 
popping up to p*** you off all the time!
Mandriva 2006 included it as Fabian says - but if you look on their forums, 
you will see that users really do not like the program at all. On my Mandriva 
system, I disabled it - and things started working properly!
Not tried Beagle - but I can imagine the same sort of issues.
Personally,I feel desktop searching is pants. Yes - include it as a repository 
item for those who really want to use such tools - but not in the main iso.
Do people have that much stuff on their machines that they need a search tool?
Cron does the business for me - set up updatedb to run daily and away you go.
Just my own view of course ;)  I would never use Kat myself - my own 
experience of it was that it is currently more of a pain than a pleasure. 
Even if it worked fine, I would doubt it would appeal to me.
