schestowitz                                        <p>System imaging is a nerdy topic. But it is an important topic. If and when you introduce big changes to your operating system baseline, you want to have the ability to roll those changes back in case of an error or some odd incompatibility. Different operating systems - and filesystems - resolve this quandary in various ways. The most prevalent, common among them is system imaging - you grab a time snapshot Sep 29 07:07

It works great, but it has one caveat. It's nerdy even for nerds, and requires a far deal of expertise to use with confidence. Enter RescueZilla, a open-source disk management suite designed to provide the full CloneZilla functionality with a convenient Sep 29 07:07

schestowitz                                        <p>If you’re more than 30 years old, then there is a good chance that BASIC (Beginners’ All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) was the first programming language you used. Many early computers shipped with a BASIC interpreter in firmware, so it was the first thing users saw when they booted up their computer. While other languages are more useful for most tasks today, BASIC still has benefits. To take Sep 29 07:40
