Thanks I think I best go none debian and none suse for a while. Suse 10.3 86 
64 has all sorts of problems. I don't know if that's typical or not. Maybe 64 
bit support is weak everywhere.

Hope those louts have included a reasonable kmail import feature. To easy to 
think of the competition and forget their own users. Suppose I will have to 
still  type out 1/2doz accounts again though.

Bit disappointed that the mail filters haven't changed much. Apart from a few 
very simple omissions they are still the best way of dealing with spam for 
lots of users. I'd be glad to make a few sensible suggestions if anyone is 
interested.

And oh for a file bookmark facility in kate rather than places in files.

Beagle may work for me on system files but no way on the home directory, Too 
many files at times. Some have also complained about it using 500mb of ram. I 
noticed real problems with disk access times. It must crawl for ever - too 
often and can't get out of the way quick enough either. It aint arf an 
ambitious piece of software.
