Posted by Hemos on from the no-matching-records dept.

ozy writes "With all the fuss about searching and Spotlight and WinFS, check out the Database File System a completely different interface for your files, implemented in KDE. There is actually a request for developers to join a project to implement this under GNOME and leave how we use the desktop today behind."

    Oh, and forgot to add that I wouldn't be happy if my disk begins to churn away as the "Crawler" updates its indexes, say, while I'm playing doom! Can't afford to have any other spooky, disk grinding noises, while squinting my way through those dark corridors..

    - Finding files can be hard. Is that letter about the planning application in Documents/Letters or Documents/Planning App?

    find ~/Documents | grep "planning application"

    You've just taken a giant step into learning how to search for files in UNIX! In my next tutorial, I'll teach you the power of the "locate" command.

    Yes but it wasn't invented by KDE so it's irrelvant.

    No, I think its funnier that he didn't. My guess is after he hit "submit" he went, "oh crap, now everyone knows I wear Depends when gaming".
