Just a quick note to mention how impressed I have been with my current backup solution, Bacula (using an Overland Neo2000 tape library, which also does the job nicely). A basic setup is pretty straightforward, and after that it runs smoothly and with very little need for intervention (other than tape switching. I have yet to find software that will pull the tapes out of the fireproof box for me & put them into the tape library ).

We have seen how to design a fast and appealing desktop with old H/W. But what about the application S/W ? We can use KDE and GNOME based tools, but these S/W again slow down our system, specially KDE. Then what is the use to design such a fast desktop ? Well, we are lucky as there are huge linux applications which are not based on Qt but the fast GTK/FOX/PyGtk library. So we can extend the power of our old PC with these superior fast GUI. In this PART-II I like to introduce such fast GUI which are non KDE/GNOME but still appealing with strong features.

Until recently, Bill Gates has been viewed as the villain of the tech world, while his arch rival, Steve Jobs, enjoys an almost saintly reputation. But these perceptions are wrong. In fact, the reality is reversed. It’s Gates who’s making a dent in the universe, and Jobs who’s taking on the role of single-minded capitalist…
