Correction

In your November "My Story", by Jesee Avilés, he makes one terrible mistake. QGIS (below) is a Geographical Information System, not a 2D CAD application. QGIS to introduce my students Although for many people, they could be the same they are radically (B.A. in Archeology) to cartography and digital cartography. QGIS, different. In a GIS you can create, being multi0platform, allows me to store, and display data in a variety of coordinate systems. Some could expand my audience (many of my students use Mac or some flavor of argue that a CAD can handle data Linux) and, being open source, that essentially has a coordinate system. That is partially true since a problems with violating DRM don't CAD system does not know how to exist. handle data of contiguous UTM Gerardo Jimenez Delgado zones, for instance. Another difference is that data in a GIS has an attribute table that allows you to play in many different ways with your data. The differences could go on and on, my point is that you n your November "My Story", must check more thoroughly these by Jesee Avilés, he makes one kind of articles. I personally live in a terrible mistake. QGIS (below) Windows world, but I use Ubuntu is a Geographical Information for some special projects. I use System, not a 2D CAD application.

MORE CLI!

n FCM42, Chris Burmajster pleads for "even less CLI". Though on first sight one might agree with this, I really do sympathise with this, but when you consider this more closely this is not what we want. A GUI can only scratch the surface of the most often used capabilities of Linux. If we want to put all the capability of Linux, in a GUI, that GUI would get so big and complicated, that no one would be able to find even the most common button to accomplish anything. So his plea for a "simple GUI in which one can do anything" is just completely impossible. Sorry about that. "manual" (handbook on the hard disk), and is also a command. If one chooses not to use the CLI, then just don't use it, but please do not ask for a magnificent OS as Linux to be Window0ized from its real power. Jaap Woldringh If people move from Windows to Ubuntu, the advantage they get first is a safe and more reliable system, in which most things they want to do can be done using the GUI, which is simple, I do agree with that. The real strength of Linux is in the command line, and anyone who can use a keyboard to type some characters can profit from even the most simple commands, of which it is not really necessary to learn that many. There is nothing complicated in using simple commands such as cd, ls, mv, cp, except for a psychological barrier maybe. The power is that one can vary these commands in many tens or hundreds of ways, and that is daunting if you want to know them all, which no one does, or needs to. One can use 'man' to know all that one needs. Man is short for 22 More Backup Ideas, Less Excuses All the highlighted backup solutions Mr. Mins offered [in FCM#43] are very good. Dropbox and Clonezilla are especially good tools. Unless you are limited to one desktop device, there are other options as well. My Linux gateway box is provisioned with an extra hard drive just for backups. Under that scenario you then have two additional options: * Rsync 0 an old stalwart that 'just works' when a little configuration is applied to it. * Unison 0 my tool of choice when it comes to data syncing.

One of its most useful attributes is that it is cross platform and syncs data with great efficiency.

John McGinnis just read FCM#43, and in the "Backup Ideas" it really missed spideroak: http://www.spideroak.com. It has great Ubuntu (and other Linux) support, and the client is very configurable. They also have a zero0knowledge approach, meaning that the Spideroak company and employees cannot find your password or decrypt your data. That gives me real peace of mind. I am sorry that I don't have time to write a review myself 0 but please take a look. The 2GB accounts are free, and if you want more data there is 100GB for 100 USD. I noticed the answer to this question: Why doesn't the command: ls | grep *zip do what I want? and wanted to provide an alternate reply: The reason is that * means that the preceding character repeats 0 or more times and you haven't specified a character, so it returns empty. The solutions are: G ood Day. I am Khaldoon Khalifa, the director in charge of Auditing and Accounting section of OCBC Bank.

If interested, please Kindly Contact me on my private email which is (<snip!>) for more information. Mr. Khaldoon Khalifa Ronnie says: Not another multi0 million dollar business offer! But I do feel smug knowing that several thousand people have just read the spam email I received. Sincerely, ls | grep .*zip ( . signified a single character except newline) or forget grep and use: ls *.zip I am not affiliated to Spideroak in any other way than being a satisfied customer. John Jaarsveld Ronnie says: Spideroak certainly seems popular, as Paddy Landau also mentioned it in an email. Thanks for
