I'm a sys admin at a small mission in Uganda.
We landed in some hot soep after blowing up the server a couple of times.
We now use 2 junk computers with suse 8.0 with samba and have (rdiff-backup.stanford.edu)make a differencial backup every night. Works wonderfull!! Also alows you to repair a blunder of some days back. Check it out.
Could it be an interesting idea to start a Linux "shortcut keys standard" simular to the
Linux Filesystem Hierarchy?...
I believe it would help the Linux community if we look at a popular product (like M$Win) and copy the good things from it. These is nothing "un-GPL" or "un-linux" about that. We have this thing in the linux community that we MUST NOT LOOK like M$Win.
This depends totally on what you like to do.
Do we actualy like to become the "peoples product"? That is what Gates has set out to do and with succes. It has made him Mister Money.
Now, we don't have to take the financial gain tour of Gates but if we like our dear old linux to be popular, we will have to copy the popular behavior of the windows system.
