Yes, yes, yes. I fully agree.
Currently I use an anacron job running rdiff-backup, but this is CLEARLY not
right for non-techie users.
I stopped using Simple Backup ages ago... it was really deficient. For one
thing, its incremental backups had to be restored like so: 1) restore last

nautilus-image-converter provides some very useful tools, but it does feel a

I'm not sure if I like this proposal -- I believe splitting things up into
small steps makes it easier on the user. For one thing, the first questions
we ask are the language and the keyboard layout, which are essential to the
user's understanding of the rest of the installer. Many users won't set
Karmic's adoption of DeviceKit-Power and the latest Gnome-Power-Manager has
changed the way the GUI reports remaining battery time. The old method built
a profile of how long, on average, it took for each percentage point of the
