Talk:GNU locate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why reference searchmonkey but not Beagle, Tracker, Strigi, etc. PuerExMachina 05:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

"GNU locate is a Unix utility to find files on filesystems" - what's the point? The files darn well better be exactly where I put them. So why do I need an updatedb cron job thrashing my disks every day? Are there other automatic processes that tend to forget where they put things, and need this locate utility to track them down? 70.162.156.229 (talk) 15:17, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
