question time: has anyone managed to get the dedrm #calibre plugin to work on #linux when sending ebooks from #ade via #wine? nothing i do works and it's really annoying, 'cause i need my books -grumble grumble-
I'm doing another one of my little surveys, this time to see which parts of using #Linux on the desktop are the most problematic, and the various issues people are having.

Preinstalled even though Virtual Box is not installed. It seems easy enough to uninstall, as nothing seems to depend on it. But it does beg the question of why it is included.
I wonder how this feature works. You can share a #Mac's optical disc drive to use on other macs over the network. Is it possible to set up #linux server to do the same? Cause my server has an optical drive..
What do you use to back up local files from Linux to external hard drive?
I have been using rsnapshot, but maybe there are better solutions out there?
Does anyone have an experience with btrfs and snapshots? Do you trust it?
