From Intrepid To Hardy
Well I’ve gone back to Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy). It’s not that I don’t like Intrepid (8.10), quite the opposite – I love it, even the NewHuman theme has grown on me. Now I’m back on Hardy, I miss the darkness!!
The reason I moved back to Hardy – and back to a 32 bit install – is because I’m starting back at University, and my touchpad kept breaking (amongst other things). I can’t really afford to have a laptop that does function fully while I’m studying, it’s just not practical.
I may install it in a VM at some point, and I know I’ll just install it when it’s at the RC stage, just to beat the crowds :p
Unfortunately, I had some issues with my /home partition (I have it separate). So I had to format that too, luckily I have an rsync backup (I had 1 for Intrepid and 1 for Hardy) on my server. So I install gftp and grabbed all the stuff I wanted from there 
Now all is back up and running smoothly, I don’t think I’ve missed off any app’s that I had installed previously!
rsync & Python
I just finally got around to using rsync to backup my laptop to my home server
It’s really good, I’d recommend it to anybody for a good backup solution. I’ve backed up my entire home folder to it (but not onto the samba share 
) I thought about that one!!
I’m now looking for another mini project, SVN was considered, but I guess it’s a little overkill. Still, I need something to do!
On another note, st33med from the UbuntuForums and Beginners Team held a python tutoring session today on ##beginners-classroom (on irc.freenode.net) And it went on for a whole 3 hours!! It was originally planned to be half an hour
I believe the logs are currently being sorted out. I have to say I enjoyed it, and I’m looking forward to further tutoring sessions held by members of the Ubuntu Community.
Congrats to st33med
