You have been able to do: yum install tracker for ages. Not that Tracker
is up to par feature wise with Beagle yet so I really doubt the hype
surrounding Tracker.

Tracker simply doesn't support as many file formats as Beagle.  As far as speed and footprint however it blows the doors off Beagle.  When I disable all the backends that tracker doesn't support in Beagle, it still can't come near the speeds Tracker has.  I really hope more people start giving Tracker so attention so it can support the same number of formats.  As soon as email indexing is out in a stable version I'll be turning off Beagle entirely.  Right now I'm running both.  :-/
