    How do you backup on Unix/Linux/Windows

    Re: How to you backup Been looking at duplicati - Project Hosting on Google Code . Uses duplicity as the backend, is cross platform (C#, Mono) which is quite promising. Also supports encrypted backups (inbuilt AES, support for GPG). As of now there isn't a service based setup (set it, forget it...

    BSNL Prepaid Number (Karnataka only)

    Unlimited GPRS for 199 bucks!! Wow! Where is number portability when you need it? Agree with the above posters. Now of all times is a bad time to sell your SIM.

    Linux Google moving to EXT4 from EXT2

    ReiserFS took quite a beating after Mr. Reiser was indicted for murdering his wife. No distro wanted to touch it with a 10 foot pole. Technologically though, ReiserFS is a really fast filesystem :)

    Linux Random Ubuntu sighting...

    This is true in terms of RHEL support. Many of the companies that I've worked with, however, tend to install RHEL and never bother to buy the support. It's about as good as running CentOS (which they should've done in the first place). The support contracts for RHEL are also pretty expensive...

    How do you backup on Unix/Linux/Windows

    Re: How to you backup For Windows I've used Cobian Backup. Works as promised with a few glitches .This is for backup of course. Synctoy worked for me on windows xp. I've not tried it on Vista or 7 though.

    Linux Google moving to EXT4 from EXT2

    This should hopefully put to rest the vicious rumors about EXT4 being an unstable filesystem and causing random data loss. :bleh: linux-ext4 - Re: [Jfs-discussion] benchmark results

    Linux Wireless + Kubuntu ???

    Try running the restricted drivers tool (should be in system administration). Not 100% if this is there in kubuntu. You could try manually running it from the command line too, jockey-gtk.

    How do you backup on Unix/Linux/Windows

    Re: How to you backup 1. Rsync + SSH, online service provides like box.net 2. Weekly for junk (movies, music) to HDD and daily for data (docs, attempts at code) 3. Currently use USB HDD a lot, certainly not the most reliable but I can do without that data even if it were hosed. I suppose the...

    Linux Random Ubuntu sighting...

    Slightly OT but has anyone seen the computers (POS) at Cafe Coffee days. The ones I've seen seem to be running some form of linux (this is readily apparent as the mouse pointer keeps turning into an X at times). It probably is RHEL or some other dinosaur distribution (please spare the flames, I...

    Please suggest some nice OST

    Yep, awesome songs. Also "In the Waiting Line - Zero 7". Slightly OT but another Imogen Heap (of Frou Frou fame) song that kicks ass is Hide and Seek. If you want to venture outside the OST genre, these are the other tracks that I would highly recommend. Not sure what genre they fall into, my...

    Please suggest some nice OST

    Try and get a copy of the OST for Garden State (2004). The movie is great and the songs are brilliant. Most of the music was selected by Zach Braff ("J.D" from Scrubs) I think. Man has good taste in music. Also the songs in House M.D. are usually nice too, not sure if there is an OST available...

    CPU/Mobo Processor options for a fairly old computer

    Thanks! That clears it up a bit. Will definitely explore these options! @dvijaydev46: Well it will speed it up a bit, if nothing else. For crap/weak passwords, there is a higher probability that I could get them in a reasonable amount of time. One could also contribute to distributed pw...

    CPU/Mobo Processor options for a fairly old computer

    @Arya: Somehow I just knew you'd say that. I think mine is an Athlon XP 2200 or 2300. No point in upgrading to that. VFM NVidia CUDA supporting card should be a better alternative, no?

    CPU/Mobo Processor options for a fairly old computer

    I picked up quite an ancient computer for about 10k from a friend (the HDD (2x500GB WDs) and memory modules(2G)) are spanking new though. For the life of me I can't figure out what the make/model of the motherboard is :huh: . I stared for many hours at the insides but couldn't tell. The only...
