I don't know if you have all the KDE stuff installed, because that does take ages, and pulls in the whole KDE kitchen sync. When I install kde I emerge kdesktop (or startkde, cant remember now) and let it pull all its dependencies. This normally results in a very cut down kde - no sound mixer, games, kmail, moonphase applets, etc. (a lot less time spent updating) Or try WindowMaker, I used to use it and I'm still very fond of it.

No, perhaps not, considering the fact that there are so many sites with pron. Maintaining such a massive hosts file is a disaster and worse still the solution is not fullproof. But then, FWIW such problems seldom have foolproof solutions. The idea of proxy is very valid(in particular the transparent proxy implementation), mixed with mime-type handling could do the trick.

I did a quick google for "linux parental control", turned out there are a couple of solutions, each with their strengths and weaknesses ofc. If it's parental control that the OP is after, then he can have a look at them. Then again, we are only guessing the OP's intention. -- Joe -- There are 3 kinds of people in the world: those who can count, and those who can't.

I just started playing with rdiff-backup. If you are familiar with rsnapshot maybe you'll know if rdiff-backup is better in some way. I've been using rsnapshot for quite a while but haven't had to do a serious restore (knock on wood). The small scale restores I've needed seemed to be something of a pita. I guess you have to search the rsnapshot created hardlinks for the version you want manually. At least that is what I ended up doing. There may be better ways but rsnapshot doesn't supply any help in that regard far as I know. Other than the biggest part of having created the file you need that is.

At least that is what I ended up doing. Yes, that's true. But although it may be a pain to search through it, it's already a good step forward to even have that capability. AFAIK no traditional backup system has content search capabilities. One can usually only tell it to restore a set of files as of a specific date. You have to restore first, then check the content and iterate that until you finally found the version you want. Now, with those rsync based backup tools, you get a plain copy of your data somewhere, so you can reverse that process. You can search through it using find/grep/awk/whatever (or even use one of those desktop search engines to index the whole backup like you would do for your home directory) and then restore exactly the version you want.

As long as no manual intervention is needed (which is the case most of the time), cfg-update is the fastest you can get. This comes from its use of the backups for comparison, which enables it to resolve more cases automatically (3-way diff/merge). Bye...
