To answer OP's question, my Linux mail server uses spamassassin and ESET
for filtering. My Linux file server also periodically performs full
scans with ESET. I do not yet run any virus scanning on my desktop
though.

FAT32 is easily usable by both Windows and Linux. But it suffers from
the same shortcomings Peter mentioned. It has no concept at all of file
permissions, so copying anything to it is going to result in the
destination having permissions set to whatever the default is for that

I want to rename each seperate file with it's date/time thus:

becomes

Thanks Michael and Tony.
I did some tinkering with the -F option yesterday and, yeah, looks like
that one does the trick. Guess I misread the man page
never used the max-unchanged-stats argument tho
I have a script that uses `tail -f --max-unchanged-stats=5` to follow a

iterations. But after logrotate rotates the logfile, tail keeps watching
the old file,

You can get the new driver from http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ , and
it's also packaged for ubuntu (and probably debian) as pwc-source.
Install that, and you should find some documentation in
