| blahdeblah | Hi folks, is tracker the preferred free equivalent to Google Desktop now that the latter has been discontinued? | 07:19 |
| head_victim | sagaci: pong | 07:38 |
| md_5 | google desktop? | 07:39 |
| blahdeblah | md_5: It indexes the contents of files and lets you search them quickly | 07:39 |
| md_5 | oh | 07:40 |
| md_5 | I remember that | 07:40 |
| md_5 | windows vista and 7 do it now anyway | 07:40 |
| blahdeblah | yeah - that's why Google dropped it | 07:40 |
| blahdeblah | Until it stopped supporting Firefox and Thunderbird, it was a kick-butt solution for Linux. | 07:40 |
| md_5 | ah | 07:40 |
| blahdeblah | But i'm installing a new laptop and Google Desktop is not available, so i'm looking for an alternative. | 07:41 |
| md_5 | find -name | 07:41 |
| md_5 | yeah tracker | 07:43 |
| blahdeblah | md_5: *contents*, not name, and *pre-indexed*, not sit around waiting while it trawls through 300 GB of my crap | 07:43 |
| sagaci | head_victim, guess so but I'm glad that the journalist did a bit of her own research... never thought I'd see Ubuntu, let alone the keyword "debian" in the local paper | 08:22 |
| head_victim | Any publicity is good publicity :) | 08:23 |
| sagaci | yeah, the article kinda sums up what I'd say to a random anyway so hits two goals | 08:24 |
| twitchie | boo! | 11:36 |

| twitchie | see what i did there .. *hint nudge wink* | 13:24 |
| * twitchie licks sagaci | 13:24 | |
