rsnapshot is a filesystem backup utility based on rsync. Using rsnapshot, it is possible to take snapshots of your filesystems at different points in time. Using hard links, rsnapshot creates the illusion of multiple full backups, while only taking up the space of one full backup plus differences. When coupled with ssh, it is possible to take snapshots of remote filesystems as well.

applies to: linux, debian based (Mepis), mount, sudo
While testing many things often I have to mount/unmount resources, and I became tired of using 'su' and supplying password.
The easy but not very secure solution is to allow some (or all) users to execute mount/unmount as root without being prompted for password by adding them to /etc/sudoers file like this:
Code:
%users ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/mount, /bin/umount
'users' is a group name.
Now I can use
Code:
$ sudo mount ......
without password.
Be careful about possible security risk!

I have KDE on my desktop machine at home, but I run Ubuntu (Gnome) on my eeepc. The latter choice is partly because Ubuntu/Gnome looks pretty good on the eee's small screen and is well supported by Adam McDaniel's eeepc optimised kernel and hacks, and partly because it's useful for when someone calls up with a question about an Ubuntu system I've installed for them.

I've got an Eee Box B202 now, using it for my main desktop with Ubuntu 8.04.1.
It runs well, though sometimes a tad slow - Firefox does occasionally get sluggish.
Ubuntu installed directly from an external DVD drive via USB without hassle, with a monitor connected via DVI.
There are two display problems:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ha...el/+bug/233787
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...el/+bug/268529
I have the box mounted behind the monitor with the supplied VESA mount, and it's nice and tidy.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a Linux kernel virtualization infrastructure. KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions Intel VT (vmx) or AMD-V (svm). KVM also requires a modified QEMU although work is underway to get the required changes upstream.

For ages Flash has failed to work properly for me when embedded in Konqueror on my Arch Linux system. It would start to load, look as if it was buffering, but not play, and meanwhile that tab or instance of Konqueror would be eating CPU.
Today I found a fix, as detailed by Mike Arthur.
Install kmplayer. I'm currently running kdemod3, and I had to install kdemod3-kmplayer from AUR, which I accomplished by running
yaourt -S kdemod3-kmplayer
