Still converting from Windows to Linux and had been feeling pretty good about finding files with slocate. It was in Cent4.4 but is not in 5? Any good reason and is there a way to get it back?
It's been replaced by mlocate. No valid reason to roll back to slocate that I can see.
From the rpm package description of mlocate:
The 'm' stands for "merging": updatedb reuses the existing database to avoid rereading most of the file system, which makes updatedb faster and does not trash the system caches as much as traditional locate implementations. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
