Interesting. That made me go start that machine up and it seems to be behaving better this evening. I checked a few times while doing some reading and always found 2 beagle processes once any showed up. I also ran Yast/Software Management and did a search on beagle. That shows 6 of 8 packahes installed (not quite the same list those gents mentioned). Not sure if I will remove them as that was really just meant to be a brief look at Suse. I am keeping my eye open for a [free] box with lots of drive bays and a decent MB/CPU/Memory with the intent to put in a bunch of like drives and load different OS's on each just for checkout purposes. No multi-booting to maintain, just move the IDE and power cables to the drive having thr OS I want to check something on. Sounds silly, but again this is just a hobby.
