The NSW govt. is replacing MSoffice with Staroffice. "Sun Microsystems has scored a publicity coup ahead of the much-heralded arrival of Microsoft chairman Bill Gates in Australia, with a NSW government minister announcing today Sun would replace Microsoft in providing an e-mail and calendar system across 1,500 users in the state Roads and Traffic Authority. The move represents one of the largest rollouts of non-Microsoft based software within the state government. " http://www.zdnet.… [View More]

Differential backups with tar.
by Nadeem M. Khan 25 Feb '06

25 Feb '06

Hi. I've been trying to get differential backups with tar. I've got it working nice and fine except for one problem. If a file is modified after the last full backup, it gets included in my differential backup, as it should. But my differential backup also includes directories that have not been modified since the last full backup. These directories get included as empty directories. The files in them (rightly) do not get included in the differential. To create a full backup I do: tar cvf /… [View More]

Interesting question. I think I would be doing it still. Monetarily Free Software itself is not as rewarding as proprietary stuff, but then is it not the love of it that we do it rather than 'other' reasons?

Re: [ILUG-BOM] big indian banks dont allow firefox

The subject line is too generic. To give credit where it is due, I use ICICI Bank's online facility and it works fine on Firefox. I also have an account with HDFC and cannot recall having any problems with it (though the last time I used it was many months ago). On the other hand, the site for the US Visa application really sucks on Firefox. Venky
