"Next, I wanted to test this Beagle thingee since it had not been
loaded by default and used Yast to install it. Nothing happened. Yast
told me Beagle was installed, but there were no icons, nothing in the
tool bar and nothing downloaded where I could access it. I then spent
an ironic three quarters of an hour searching for the search software,
before I gave up."
The same kind of thing happens with synaptic on Ubuntu. I know where
to look (usually /usr/bin) and how to then create a launcher icon on
the desktop. But for a total newbie, it would be very
disconcerting...
