Suse 10 will ship with ’spotlight’

Named ‘Beagle’, the desktop search tool that will ship with Suse 10 (due in 2006) will be similar to Spotlight from apple which was in turn copied from the Google Desktop Search.

Beagle indexes documents, email, Web history, IM and Internet Relay Chat (IRC) conversations, images, music files, source code, and more, including widely used file formats such as Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Office PowerPoint files, MP3 files, and JPEG and Portable Network Graphics (PNG) images.
Novell Linux 10

I’m still holding out for Suse 9.3 which will feature the Xen hypervisor among other seriously cool softwares. When versioni 10 comes along next year you can be sure a lot will have changed in the Linux scene.
