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).

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.

Why not just use Virtual Hosts? Vmware or Xen will enable you to do that
without the hardware. I tend to have a lot of spare computers in my
network so just started using FreeNX for that. I can install a test
distro on a spare computer, then use it from my computer with nx.
