In my FC4 things I found the file rsync that I used to back up my whole computer things. I have a 8.7 Gbyte hard drive in a $20 dollar plastic holder which has a power supply and a USB plug that my current F7 will put at /media/disk/. I worried it was too small. So I used the old # du -c -h /file and I learned that I have:
/home 3.8 Gig /root .051 /usr 3.4 /etc .114 /var .107 /lib .073 /bin .058 /sbin .020
This is 7.3 Gbyte which will fit on the hard drive.
Now I have to try it and see how it works.

I quite like my one of my computer monitors. Its a flat one, and quite rectangularish. The other one is older and not such a favourite.
I have one good set of speakers, the others are basic and cheap but have some nice blue ellipses on them. I think they both use electricity.
I had eggs for breakfast, and I am waiting to see if they work with my digestive system, or if its broken.

I just bought another keyboard today, it's quite nice, though I'm feeling a built guilty that it's a Microsoft one...
But seriously Karl -- waggles eyebrows -- hold off a moment before posting. If you'd wrote about something difficult, and solved it, or not solved it, that's the sort of posting that fits in with the mailing list. But the "I'm going to try something" message is just premature.
As I said before, try and find a user group (meetings with fellow Linux users where you bring along your boxes and/or talk about what you do with them). I think you'll enjoy it.

I think a few weeks ago you threatened me with the fact that you were going to delete all mail from me. I wish you would go ahead with that threat.

I threatened no such thing, nor should I need to do it. Your postings like this are off topic and not meant for a list like this.
