Installation frustrations

[Ed]

The indexing service is adjustable - you can 'nice' it or set it to
not run when the desktop is in use.

You might reconsider disabling it, especially if you use Gnome3, as
search is a primary access paradigm. Just hit the window key and start
typing and a list of files is shown like in dynamic google - apps too.
Once you try it a while you may find it a faster way of file retrieval
/ app launch. For full documentation look at:
