Gentoo has beagle more than a year on the official tree so far so good.
Our users know it eat's too much CPU (things are getting much better)
but we don't have many bugs reported for our distro. We don't include
atm the autostart for gnome users because we are sometimes called as
metadistro so our users have the choice to get things working like they
want. But we are planning to add some patches to our gnome to improve
beagle support like gnome-panel using beagle instead of the old search
tool.
We are happy to have beagle and we can help with our testimonials for
that article and do some beagle publicity.
Btw... can we (beagle packagers) be on planet beagle too ? That can be
interesting to share different points of view about beagle.
