Re: [luau] Recommended Thumb Drive or better

I've been using a CompUSA brand usb keychain flash drive for a while now. It's just a 128 MB one, and USB 1.1 compatible but it's worked just fine for me. If I were going to buy one today the most important things I would look for a USB 2.0 compatibility, 256 MB or more of flash storage

As another side point (as everyone can see, I am quite excited about the use of USB storage in Linux), I typically don't mask the entire /home directory, rather, only my user directory, i.e., /home/x. Of course, before you do that, the root of the host machine must create the same user

Re: [luau] thumb drive, incremental backup

2003-09-30 Thread Hawaii Linux Institute
one of the most useful features of a thumb drive (or a USB hard disk) is to do incremental backups. I used to rely on a DOS program called xtree/ztree to do incremental backups in Windows, but in Linux, the task is substantially easier. I am tossing in my way of doing incremental backups, if

SanDisks CF/SD/MM/MS are cheaper at costco. Any flavor 256MB for $40-50 depending on the deal. (was $30 once) I'd never buy a thumb drive. I'd rather use a pcmcia, ide or usb2 adaptor. any one of those plus the cost of the memory is still cheaper and faster. usb is actually the least

In my experience ezmlm and Smartlist are the most painless for users of the list system. ezmlm is the easiest to set up and administer that I've found. Smartlist is also a pain to setup, but once running it functions far better than Mailman. I wouldn't recommend inflicting Mailman on your users
