I don't know what exactly the problem was. Some bug in aptitude.
After doing:
aptitude remove libpanel-applet-3-0

it installed OK.
Until then, it had output like this which I obviously were not going
to say yes to:
sudo aptitude install gnome-shell

It appears to have problems installing gnome-panel.



I just installed 11.10 in a VM and then did:-

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

It installed fine, I logged out and back in again with the GNOME 
session. Worked fine.

Re: [Hampshire] backup migrations

[Imran Chaudhry]

Another vote for rsnapshot here. As Leo says it works over rsync and you
can just feed rsnapshot the rsync options you are already using. It
supports daily, weekly, monthly out the box so it's just a matter of
commenting out the relevant lines in the config. My approach would be to
set-up rsnapshot to do an immediate backup of something small so the
directory structure is correct, then copy your backup data into the
relevant place, then perform a "dry run" to confirm that only the diffs are
transferred.

The only snag would be that the backups are not encrypted, in which case
duplicity might be your best bet. However it comes at the cost of
complexity and I found that restoring backups becomes non-trivial. Another
HantsLUG member wrote a good guide to duplicity a while back on his
personal wiki.

My own first question would be how comfortable I was having my data
stored on only one machine, raid or not.

Personally I don't like my data in only one building.
