The best Linux desktop search tools
,----[ Quote ]
| Tools such as grep, find and awk have often
| come to the rescue of gleeful Bash-mongers
| searching for files buried beneath gigabytes
| of other items. But when a typical Linux
| distro takes up a couple of gigs of disk
| space, it's not hard to imagine that finding
| your files will only become trickier over
| time.

GloobusPreview & CoverGloobus Sneak Peeks
,----[ Quote ]
| Having to contend with intermittent
| electricity in my house today means this is
| likely the only post of the day. So, instead
| of pushing out something half-baked I thought
| i'd go the whole-hog and not really say
| anything at all...
|
| ...and just post some new pictures showing of
| the awesome progress the Gloobus-Preview &
| CoverGloobus development teams are making with
| undoubtedly two of the coolest applications
| around. Clicking on the pictures should take
| you supersized, but don't roast me if they
| don't!

Desktop search comparison: Beagle vs. Tracker
,----[ Quote ]
| Beagle and Tracker are projects that allow you to index your files so you can
| quickly search filesystems. Both projects started out with the intention of
| being used with the GNOME desktop, but have recently made a push to be
| desktop-independent and work with KDE and other desktop environments. Over
| two days, we'll compare their usability and performance.
|
| [...]
|
| Beagle is written in Mono and Tracker in C. I'll avoid the language war here
| about what is most efficient or uses more RAM because it is a discussion that
| requires more than an article in itself. The choice of language alone does
| not make one project a clear winner nor should it necessarily mean that
| Tracker is more efficient.
