Oh, I knew there was more:
* Back-up solutions:
Déjà Dup, a front-end to Duplicity with Nautilus integration (i.e.
file context menus have "Revert to Previous Version..." / "Restore

storage), optionally encrypted

Things I remember from our end of the table:
* PowerTOP - http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/powertop/ - for seeing
what's causing the CPU to wake up, with suggestions of what to do about
it.
* Liberation fonts were built to be metric-compatible with Microsoft
fonts, and are GNU GPL licensed

of things need making a lot more user-friendly in Linux. I think it's
hard to see that unless you've watched other people, who are unfamiliar
with it, trying to use it.
I remember shortly after I'd joined Red Hat and we'd ju

Hi,
I came along to the last meeting so it's probably about time I
introduced myself on this list. I'm a software engineer working for Red
