WARNING: THIS METHOD IS AMAZING BUT ALSO DANGEROUS. In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to perform a simple backup of our /home using an external drive. The backup’s speed is increased because it transfers only the changes that have been made. The algorithm is its main feature: this piece of software can recognize the updates you did on the original files. Rsync is a very powerful and versatile tool for managing your backups. The point is… In 2014, do we need a new Bill Gates? How many benefits does the community get from a Steve-Jobs-wannabe? Wouldn’t be better and more constructive to contribute to an existing project with people all over the world? It’s a pity that lots of ideas don’t reach the light because they only works on a single system and aren’t accessible for people who use different technologies. Starting a new project is maybe simpler: but will it reach the popularity and the nowadays numbers of – for example – Debian? I think that too many people don’t like to learn how a serious and well organized team works. To stay on top and offer a reliable system, top-distros have rules (especially for new packages to be submitted). I’m sure many more out there offer similar chances. Open Suse also has a site which showcases users’ creations. We could also write a live of Ubuntu for testing hardware we don’t know. For example, we can simply deploy our own copy of Fedora on a USB stick. Nowadays it’s easy to create a “new” operating system: lots of distros actually offer powerful tools for building a customized version. Perhaps that’s even the cause why hardware’s manufacturers don’t always support Linux well.Īctually, instead of working on existing projects, lots of users insist on what I call “reinventing the wheel”. While learning from tutorials and improving others’ snippets are obviously awesome practices, the Open world often suffer from schisms. Today I’d like to write about a critical part of Open Source.
