May 8	comment	Remote backup of local server applying Rsnapshot So you want to keep backup and rsnapshot in sync over time and not just do a oneshot. AFAIK there's no easy way for that; rsync is probably the best you can get - or rename the folders manually.

Apr 23	comment	forward vs. backward symlinks: administrative practice? @Matt: So you've never used OpenBSD?
Apr 23	comment	forward vs. backward symlinks: administrative practice? This is a rather simplistic view typical of Linux (or should I say Ubuntu?); the OpenBSD way is to have more partitions, not fewer.
Apr 21	comment	Time synchronization of machines on LAN to GPS NTP server on the LAN UBUNTU 12.04 @NateLockwood: ntpd checks the server as often as needed: You don't have to tell it the interval. Please read the FAQ. The startup of ntpd is handled by your OS - typically it should "just work".
Apr 21	answered	Time synchronization of machines on LAN to GPS NTP server on the LAN UBUNTU 12.04
Apr 21	comment	Time synchronization of machines on LAN to GPS NTP server on the LAN UBUNTU 12.04 `ntpdate` is not needed; `ntpd` can set the time at startup.
