Shortly after I made my own Linux backup script I found an amazing backup tool for Linux. Back In Time does everything you need to set up a powerful backup system what works my taking snapshots of specified directories.

It’s a backup software for Linux what was inspired by Timevault and Flyback.

Time to spice up your Gnome desktop with a fresh new theme and start of a new year is a perfect time for that. Below is a small list of fresh new themes. This time it looks like they’re all on the darker side – purely by coincidence.

Yes that time has come again – to say goodbye to 2009 and welcome 2010!

I want to finish this year by leaving a small list of the most popular posts here on Online Blogger. It’s combined according to comment count and above all – traffic. So here goes!

What is KDM?

KDM (KDE Display Manager) is the K Desktop Environment replacement for XDM, the X Display Manager. KDM allows users to pick their session type on a per-login basis using different themes and user photos.

To be honest I haven’t yet bothered to build a backup system for my Ubuntu. Although I’ve been using it over a year now. Stupid me – I know! But since I haven’t had any problems with it I simply didn’t even think about it.

There is a very big list of great backup software out there but since I like to get my own hands dirty I wanted to build a custom script for it. If you’ve used or are using Ubuntu you know how easy it actually is. Basically all you have to back up is your home directory. All the necessary files are usually within that folder. So all you have to do is tar it and you’re done. This means the whole thing would just be one small line of code.

What is GDM?

GDM (GNOME Display Manager) is a highly configurable reimplementation of XDM, the X Display Manager. It starts the X session and shows a login window to the user.
