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.

OpenSUSE 10.1 comes with the Beagle search engine enabled be default.
While useful, it periodically slurrps CPU and memory to scan around for
new data objects to index. It's pretty resource intensive at times.
Try this http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=21284 and see if
the system is happier.
