isync is the software package i've wanted for at least five years. i
frequently say to myself that it would be great to be able to use

What's the story with tar? The new package conflicts with cpio, and by

cpio and tar: in my experience they are orthogonal or at least
complementary. Why do they now conflict?

Does graphing work in Gnumeric? If so, what magic incantation have I

I installed gnomemeeting on a few machines, but it doesn't exactly work
