At the risk of oversimplifying, you might consider git a versioned file system.  And for "automatic" versioning of /etc, I have to say etckeeper [1] is "a keeper" :-) [1] http://joey.kitenet.net/code/etckeeper/ Greg Rundlett ___ Discuss mailing list Dis

Other operating systems in existence at the time Unix was being designed required you to call different system calls depending on what device you were trying to do I/O to. And some operating systems knew about file types and defined the complete set of file types you could deal with - e.g. sou

[Discuss] ISP costs for higher data rates? (20-50 MBit/sec.)

2012-05-04 Thread Gordon Ross
I've been looking into the costs of "business class" internet service (20-50MBit/sec) and I'm surprised at the wide range of prices quoted. I'm curious, what areothers paying for this class of service? What I've found so far: If you're lucky enough to be in an area with Verizon's FiOS (we're not)
