 Hiyas Yorvyk,
 
 I can discuss with you what back up solutions I have found, just drop me a
 note. I did discuss backing up during the early part of the 10.10 cycle.
 
I'd be interested to hear your solutions.  What I’m after is a solution 
(simple) for a single machine and another for networked machines.  I’m 
currently using a rather messy scripted thing based on rsync and really need 
some thing better. The solution for single machines must be easy to use for 
naive users.  I’d like to keep the discussion on-line so others may benefit, or 
chip in, unless you’ve reasons not to.
Best start a new thread I think.

Discuss Backup solution

Backups? :P
Plenty to go at. A simple point-and-click solution is the obvious way to
go.

Not a priority, but if there is a good lightweight solution, it could be good.

As a member of the 'Must do a backup tomorrow society' :) it is something I’ll
have to have a look at.

Discuss CD/DVD Burn choice : Xfburn (xfce depends + hal) or Brasero (gnome
depends but no hal) or something else ?
Any thing HAL free as there seems to be no point in having HAL for just one
program, could even be built into PcManFM

The Any thing HAL free is actually limited to Brasero, I didn't find
another good CD burner without HAL.

TBH all my CD/DVD burning is done with k3b as this just seams to be the most
reliable.

I would like to see some discussion of the minimum, REALISTIC hardware
requirements.

It depends of the use, and sometimes the state of your hardware. It's not
really easy to set an universal requierement, only experiments can help in
this case.

I was thinking more of the installation but now we have an alternate installer
this is really a problem.

Also a RSS reader might be nice, Liferea maybe.

Ubuntu didn't have one, and Liferea is not really lightweight. Like Backup,
if a good solution exist, why not.

OK. Not a great problem for people to install if needed and I suppose there is
probably some thing for Chromium that does this anyway.

WBar, the launcher/dock thingy is rather nice and gives a modern feel to
the desktop and may be worth considering.

Lxpanel is a component which will be very difficult to remove, unless you
have very very good reasons and a good benchmark.

People I’ve shown Lubuntu to with WBar running wrere rather impressed and I
thought it might just provide something different from the crowd. I use it in
conjunction with the panel, which I move to the top.

NumLockX installed by default would be very useful. to me any way. I know
there’s a problem with it at the moment but, hopefully it will be solved.

I suppose the thing to do, really, is to try and get rid of some of the
annoying bugs in the config area, like the LXRandR one mentioned earlier.

Have fun in the USA :D

Hiyas Yorvyk,

I can discuss with you what back up solutions I have found, just drop me a
note. I did discuss backing up during the early part of the 10.10 cycle.

Regards,

Phill.
