I have used a great program in Windows called Zipcat, it's basically a volume management app. It catalogs the files of a volume (CD/DVD/HDD) into a database and allows you to search by keyword. Is there an equivalent in Linux that anyone knows about? It's the one thing, I've missed since canning Windows altogether.

Try "man slocate"; that might be what you're looking for.

You might also try Beagle (http://www.gnome.org/projects/beagle/), which is a desktop search tool for Gnome, similar to Google Desktop Search and Copernic.

At least 3
cdcat - http://cdcat.sourceforge.net/ (QT, linux + windows) GTKtalog - http://www.nongnu.org/gtktalog/ (Gnome) Katalog - http://salvaste.altervista.org/main.html (KDE, haven't used it)
There are rpm packages for the first two somewhere...
