Yes, if you remove the --delete parameter to the rsync call, then it will
not delete files that no longer exist in the source file system. At RTI I
don't use --delete when backing up certain project shares, to protect

Thanks! I really need to start using rsync for backup and possibly
keeping a couple of pools of data which keep in sync with each other
so any one of them can be the latest version.
A slightly different problem is solved by Apple's Time Machine. Its
the old day-week-month backup strategy

Backups are done like this:

echo "Starting /home/roberts backup" >>/home/roberts/backup.log
date >>/home/roberts/backup.log
/usr/bin/rsync -vurltD --delete -

Although minimum expenditure may rule out the MacBook Pro, the price
difference between it and the MacBook has been worth it for me. My
wife has a 2.2 GHz MacBook and I have the 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro, each
with 4 GB of RAM. Some of the differences are measurable: 15.4" vs 13"

Owen,
One cautionary comment regarding Google Docs: it is a very poor second
choice to the OpenOffice suite in terms of features, and compatibility to
the M$ Office Suite. It's better than nothing, but just barely. I use a
lot of the other Google stuff: Calendar, Blogger, Web Picassa, AdSense

I'll see your VMWare and raise it with a *free* Sun VirtualBox. I dropped
all of my VMWare licenses a few months ago and switched over completely to
VirtualBox.

Well you all know me, so no surprise: Kubuntu, either 8.04, or 8.10 would
be my recommendation. Either of these distros will run nicely on low-end
(~$399) laptops, or the higher-end machines as well. You can get an Acer or
