Well I would argue that the people who remove it are a minority, not the other way around. I have seen beagle installed on multiple systems and it is as unobtrusive as an app can be. I have tested it on Fedora Core6, multiple Fedora 7 installations and now I'm testing it on Rawhide. So I have extensive experience with beagle. > There's being useful > There's being not so useful but not intrusive > And there's being not so useful and very intrusive. > > Beagle is at state 3 today. That's not a good state. For me it is at state 1. And by "me" I don't mean only one lone desktop. As I have told you I run multiple copies on multiple hardware sutups - and on all of them beagle is at state 1. I would be writing this year ago when I was running Fedora 5 ane beagle was a nightmare, but it has gone a long way since then. > But it won't > change by pestering people who didn't ask for beagle in the first > place and had to make the effort to remove it because it was degrading > their systems. Sorry if my approach seams a bit rough, but I find english hard to translate finer points, but as you can guess it is not my mother tongue. But now do the same people than have a vote what does in the default install and what does not if they don't give an effort to troubleshoot it a little. Only saying "me too" to a bugzilla entry or on a mailing list makes beagle look bad but only because the majority of people who don't have issues with beagle don't even go to these mailing lists or to bugzilla. If you have tested beagle on multiple systems and find it causing problems then please excuse me - show us your test results and that is ok. I have seen much bigger issues with some apps in Fedora and they aren't removed from default install. Like a big, really huge bug with new user-switcher applet (look for my bugzilla entry) in Fedora 7. What is a great feature but it caused data and time loss for me! I have multiple resource meters running, and I see when my system acts strange and inspect it. Usually it is Firefox who causes my CPU to go to 100%. Should Firefox be removed because of this from default fedora install? _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
