I don't know about software for babies, per se. But, as I was
reading bedtime stories to my son the other night, it occurred
to me that my own first exposure to some of the basic ideas
that I associate with free software was probably when my parents
read me "Harold and the Purple Crayon".

So I'm really quite pleased that it's still in publication,
and that I could get a copy to read to my own child.

Re: Data recovery

[Susan Cragin]

It is an ssd but I'm going to try. What the heck. My favorite files are a 
cluster of small txt and org files. And I haven't used the machine since then.

Is this on a spinning-platter HDD, or on one of those
new-fangled SSDs?

As far as I understand it, you're unlikely to be able
to recover any data from an SSD as they're so aggressive
about remapping logical/physical blocks.

Data recovery

[Susan Cragin]

I recursively deleted my home folder, "susan."
I have days-old backup but want to try data recovery.
Best Linux-on-a-stick for data recovery? Or just use my usb Debian lxde with 
extundelete?

Re: iptables confusion.

[Dan Garthwaite]

There is a place for webmin - especially when you need to hand over a
system to users as a contractor.

For iptables everything got easier when I started using iptables -S which
displays the existing rules in the same manner that you specify them
instead of the constant mental context switching.

iptables -S -t nat
iptables -S
