KDE "The KDE desktop of SUSE Linux 10.1 (and the future enterprise products built on it) will contain a KDE frontend for Beagle called Kerry. For this Beagle has been split into non-GUI and GUI parts, some backends are now in sub-packages (Evolution, Firefox) and the libbeagle API has been improved in parts. Besides generic file indexing Beagle already contains backends written by Debajyoti Bera and others for KMail, Kopete, and Konqueror's web history cache."

I installed it in SUSE and observed the same mess. Not that heavy but hard to understand and next to unusable. Not surprise it's a Mandriva contribution....

Kat's not written by anyone at Mandriva, we just host the site and support development as a contribution to the project.

d3mon, the January update to Kat should have resolved some of its obnoxiousness - some of the most egregious bugs were fixed, and mail indexing was turned off, since that caused a lot of the problems. I just installed a copy of latest Community in VMware (including the updated Kat) and it doesn't seem to be causing major problems (even in VMware, which isn't exactly the fastest environment).

kat isn't ready yet. beagle has been in development for waay longer (and is still unstable and resource hungry) so its a bit more usable. i hope the next Kat release will be better - but i wouldn't count on a usable Kat until its 1.0 release.
