WARNING: Winter-blonde rant ahead, no need to read it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Just updated one of my desktop machines to discover that Akonadi (a sort of<br>
central store for contact information) is installed by default: unfortunately<br>
it also requires mysql and launches one instance per user, using up 100Mb-odd<br>
of disk-space just to start, minimum, per-user (NOT very handy if you have a<br>
per-user quota of 200Mb). Can't be used on NFS (because of MySQL issues).<br>
Can't be disabled (it'll just start up again). Can't be un-installed (can't<br>
open emails in kmail/kontact if you do). Yummy. How wonderful, now we have to<br>
run MySQL (or Postgresql, although that isn't finished yet) for each user in<br>
order to just get our contacts, or emails...and if either crashes users cannot<br>
get emails (how they would be expected to know that). It also buggered up<br>
their chat programs (insisting on a central store for passwords, or summat).<br>

Rant over. Nothing to see here.<br>
