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 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	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.
Mar 19	comment	What's the reason for this specific “rm” sequence in the xkcd joke? @StéphaneGimenez: Not everyone runs gnu rm. :-)
Mar 19	comment	Why is JFS so obscure? SUSE embraced XFS quite early as the default fs - much earlier than RH.
Mar 19	comment	Why is JFS so obscure? I don't remember JFS being the default fs for SUSE anytime; XFS was the default fs for some years (before ext4) though.
