Nothing is stopping you from paying for support if you want to. The flexibility of Free/Open Source Software is that if you don't want to pay for support, you don't have to.
The backup directory on the remote host can be owned by user1 and group-owned by user2, with the following permissions: u=r-x,g=rwx,o=r-t
A backup is copied to the remote server as user2. Once the backup is complete, change its owner to user1. user2 will then no longer be able to read, modify or delete the backup file.
If you are confident with the syntax of sudoers(5) then sudo(8) is a good way to do this. If not then it can be done with a cron job, as long as you ensure the job runs once the backup is completed.
rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup. rdiff-backup also preserves subdirectories, hard links, dev files, permissions, uid/gid ownership, modification times, extended attributes, acls, and resource forks. Also, rdiff-backup can operate in a bandwidth efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back a hard drive up to a remote location, and only the differences will be transmitted. Finally, rdiff-backup is easy to use and settings have sensical defaults.
Basically it's a wrapper around rsync that does two things. First, gives you incremental backups; second, fixes the highly confusing options that control which files are included/excluded in a sync.:)
Hmm, good point. I'd not even thought about it before--so ingrained is the assumed meaning of the phrase 'anti-semitic' in my mind. I guess this is one of those cases of the word being used incorrectly so many times that its meaning changes.:(
In order to create such a derived work, you need permission from the copyright holder, permission that is not granted uder GPL 3 draft 2 if the licensor makes use of the additional clause...
Is that the total mapped, or the resident set size? How much of that figure is 'private dirty'? Or are you using the Windows task manager which AFAIK is pretty useless for determining memory usage?
It's an opinion. Why should the FSF be required to judge the freedom of different GNU/Linux distributions based on any criteria than their own? Do you have anything worthwhile to add to the discussion?
Although Debian claims that non-free packages aren't "part of" Debian, the FSF takes the (entirely reasonalbe) viewpoint that they are distributed from ftp.debian.org, therefore they are distributed by Debian, therefore Debian is not a Free operating system.
Actually, now I think of it, Apple used to produce Macs that came with an entire PC system on an expansion card. You could switch between the Mac and the PC by pressing Command-Enter.
I've never tried the non-free IFS so I can't compare them. It is 'fast enough' however. I think after that point performance becomes meaningless because you're not going to be constructing a high performance file server using ext[23] in Windows; you're just trying to access your Linux filesystem when booted into Windows.

And do all your work on the image file!
IDIOTS!
That is the price that you pay for locking yourself into a proprietary platform only available from one vendor.
Canonical, Shuttleworth's company, will support it.

No one is forcing anyone to use anything.
Do you think that Linus should be forced to accept the VMI patches into his kernel?

Except for the 'fuck you Jews' at the end?
Very interesting. I wish there was a page somewhere that listed how the GPL interacts with varying copyright laws in different countries.

Half the kernel _does_ have the 'or later' option included anyway...

In addition to the use of find(1) suggested by another poster, you can also eliminate your use of a temporary file:
find -name '*.mp3' | mplayer -shuffle -playlist -
Yeah, right. :)

Didn't PHP 5.0 come out <strong>after</strong> Debian 3.1 ("sarge") was released? Nevertheless, packages are available from <http://backports.org/>.
Jython?
(Disclaimer: I only know what it is, not whether it's any good)
Depends on your implementation.
Like this? :)

Buh? How can this not have been fixed yet!
