Btrfs System Rollbacks In Fedora 13
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the benefits of Btrfs besides offering
| competitive performance against other Linux
| file-systems and SSD optimizations is its
| support for sub-volumes and writable
| snapshots. While Btrfs is still in
| development and is not yet used as a default
| file-system by any Linux distribution, Red
| Hat has been looking to capitalize upon the
| capabilities of Btrfs by introducing support
| for system rollbacks into Fedora. The Btrfs-
| based system rollback support has been a
| feature for Fedora 13 so with the release of
| the Fedora 13 Beta earlier this week we
| decided to further investigate this feature.

Desktop Enhancements in Fedora 13
,----[ Quote ]
| Simple scan is also a tool to make scanning
| fast and simple. This tool is like Deja-Dup
| maintained in the launchpad.net community,
| and if you want to use an newer version of
| the program just add the PPA. I will add a
| list of PPAÂs that will be good to have when
| we got the release of Fedora 13.

Fedora 13beta mini-review
,----[ Quote ]
| But looking through the list of changes in
| Fedora 13, I'm really excited to try out DÃjÃ
| Dup. It's a new backup tool that should make
| life a lot easier. With it, you can do local
| or remote backups, including to Amazon's S3
| cloud storage. Everything is encrypted and
| compressed, and backups are such that you can
| restore from any particular snapshot.

OS X and Windows do not have the same features. GNU/Linux is ahead on the desktop in
many areas.

Allegheny first-years dive into Fedora
,----[ Quote ]
| Today, 42 first-year students at Allegheny
| College were thrown into the deep end of
| the pool on the Fedora project. Given that
| these are first-year students with no
| particular background in computing, we've
| worked closely with Mel Chua to get these
| students plugged into the Marketing and
| Design teams. This puts them in a context
| where their lack of experience as
| programmers is a benefit, as they are
| discussing and developing feature
| descriptions with developers with the
| explicit goal of making the end-result
| readable by people with no particular
| background in computing.
