June 28, 2007 · 1 comment

Google has released the long awaited desktop search option for Linux platform. It officially supports Red Hat,Fedora, Suse, Mandriva and more popular Debian/Ubuntu x86 versions.
The configuration Guide for Ubuntu 7.04(Feisty) is very detailed yet simple.
I will post later if this is better than the Beagle.

Google Desktop Search for Linux supports the following features:-
* Gmail
* Text files and source code
* PDF and PS files
* HTML files
* Email from Thunderbird
* OpenOffice.org documents
* Image and music files
* Man pages and Info pages
* File and folder names
