The half-assed way MS is doing it is a hack. What you probably really want is true snapshots which are done at the FS level. Check out NetApp for an example...snapshots are VERY handy and VERY fast way to save yourself from having to go to tape. (ie. 1sec to snapshot a 0.5TB filesystem) The

I think it will be important to have a non-AA QT-2.3.0 included since you have an exclusive choice of AA'ed or non-AA'ed fonts with 2.3.0. Additionally, I understand that a few of the servers do not support the RENDER extension that is required for AA support. (The NVIDIA binary only server

As Arnd reports, it appears that you can either have AA'ed font or _old_style_ fonts under QT 2.3. Further, it would appear that when using AA'ed fonts you need to define them with a XftConfig file or you will only get _FIXED_. So if we are to effectively use QT 2.3 in a workable manner,
