An even easier method of doing this is using the built-in SOCKS proxy in OpenSSH. Simply add "DynamicForward 3000" to your ssh_config file (or use the -D switch of the ssh command). After you connect, a locally accessible SOCKS proxy is then available on localhost port 3000, all nicely tunneled through the server. Set Firefox/Gaim/etc to use this port (be sure to use the SOCKS proxy settings and not HTTP) and you're set.
I know that Mondo Rescue supports spanning over discs of any size. It also supports differential backups. I personally use it for nightly backups. Setup is simple via command line switches, and restoring is done via a curses-based tool on the bootable iso.

The first season of the Office is shown regularly on BBC America and I have heard rumors Season 2 will be shown soon (I hope!). You can also get season one on PAL (I assume it's PAL) DVD in the uk if you have a way of playing it in North America.
Season 2 will be out soon on dvd from what I remember.
Well I am the author of the mfsstream tivoweb module (used to extract shows in.ty format directly from a web browser which can then be converted to.mpg).
This is exactly why I've preordered the linux kit for the Playstation 2. It seems to do everything this box does and more (for $1300 less, assuming you already have a ps2):
black case: check (with matching black cd faceplate. wow!) 40 gig hard drive: check cd/dvd drive: check optical out: check
the "and more": ethernet card: check tv/out: check
Add a cdparanoia/lame frontend, and maybe a fancy auto-mount script or two, and you're all set.
Turtle beach makes (or just distributes?) a similar device. More details are available at
TG. This one officially supports windows only, but linux support is available (through samba, if I remember correctly). Uses ethernet or regular phone lines..
One of these with an 802.11 wireless ethernet card would be perfect...
Also, since they seem to be stuck in the 90s, (ie- omitting Maniac Mansion and Wasteland) why is Tony Hawk Pro Skater not on this list? Anyone who owns a playstation or dreamcast (or even PC) has bought this game and still plays it! (I know I do). Anyone agree?
Well, you see, the mp3.com client sends information about the cd you have in the drive, then their server knows which cds you "own" and will let you stream mp3s from their server. I believe the word is 'proprietary'.
I'm sure you saw a few of the vcds that were floating around the net. If they happen to be on dvd (in asia, probably) they would be really poor quality. I did see one of the screeners that was pretty comparable to vhs.
The funny thing is is that most of the porn picutres you get off the net are infridgements of copyright law as well (scanned from magazines, stills from (or full) movies. Not that I would know anything about porn on the Internet.:)

I don't know about you, but thanks to "Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4" I can bust out a '900-triple impossible-to-dark slide' pretty easily.
All I need now is "Economic and Strategic Decision Making 2"..

Are you from Quebec ? or some other French country ?

Quebec isn't a country.. Yet.
