Hi, Would pointing to Gnomes System Tools be appropriate? They're pretty good now for doing most things. But, they aren't available for every platform. According to their NEWS file they support Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, Slackware, FreeBSD, OpenNA, PLD, Vine and Specifix. But that doesn't help OSX, Windows and all the other non-supported distro's. -- Anthony Batchelor <toeknee haircrazy info> On Fri, 2005-01-14 at 11:58 +0100, Albert Vilella wrote: > Hi, > > I have just watched the Spotlight demo in MacWorlds, and I'm very happy > to see that "almost" all the stuff that one will be able to do with > MacOSX Spotlight in 4-5 months time, I will be able to do it with > Beagle. > > "Almost" comes from a feature in Spotlight that I would like to be able > to use in Beagle.
