Like I said, I got the Akonadi / Nepomuk / Kontact combo to work. However.... the problems with Akonadi and Nepomuk show up with relatively good hardware. Runnng x86_64 on 3Gig of Ram. This should be plenty..... However... in my spare time. I play a game that I can only run under wine. The game normally runs fine.... But now, with the requirement of Nepomuk and Akonadi and when they are running I see the game slowing down significantly. Honestly, I think that the Akonadi / Nepomuk / Kontact combo is a great idea... Potentially, it can give the Outlook / Exchange combo a serious run for the money (of course, it depends on what you mean by money :) ). However, for a simple single desktop situation I don't see the point needing to run mysql or indexing or whatever.... I have had the misfortune of seeing MS's "Desktop Search" bring Windows to a screaching standstill (with good and bad hardware). And while Nepomuk is nowhere near as bad, especially when running just about everything. As a mater of fact, under the pure KDE desktop environment it doesn't seem to have any noticeable impact at all. but when running resource hungry apps like those under wine one tends to notice. Dunno what can be done about it other than to make Akonadi something optional with the ability to import into resources managed by Akonadi if Akonadi is required by the user, but that isn't likely to happen anytime soon. It is a real pain in the butt to have to disable my entire PIM; one component at a time; to be able to play a game. I have not had the opportunity to test this under a resource hungry "Linux" game. I guess that that's going to be next on my agenda. Guess I'm gunno see how it goes for awhile.
