Hi!
The installation wiki is very comprehensive. thanks for that.
I think I'm going to use Ubuntu one for backing up. it sounds like drop
box, except more compatible with Ubuntu itself.
Thanks man. get some rest, i hope the pain goes away soon. it sucks
specially if when theres lots of typin to do.
