Thanks Anne for the info. 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.

Thanks again for the info Anne

Eli
