i need to backup my zimbra server at work to our windows server for nightly backups. to do so, i followed this thread at ubuntu forums which tells you to do the following:
install the smbfs package installed:
sudo apt-get install smbfs
then create the mount point:
sudo mkdir /mnt/winshare
i put together a slim live cd for boxee based on ubuntu because i didnt want the bloat of gnome, kde, or xfce on my dedicated media box and figure i’d share it with the world.
what i did -
i basically stated with a bare minimum installation of ubuntu and slowly added applications to my liking. i installed fluxbox as the window manager since it is light weight and doesnt carry some of the bloat that the other window managers do. i added firefox web browser, transmission bit torrent client, the rox filer manager, and xterm terminal emulator. i did use gdm as the desktop manager cause i plan on adding a custom login screen later on. i added boxee through the repo for now and set it to startup automatically.
ubuntu 7.10, the gutsy gibbon, has finally reached its end of life after 18 months in this cruel cruel world. what does this mean for user? it means no more support for that version of the distribution and that you should upgrade to either the newest version or a lts (long term support) version a.s.a.p.
i have been thinking about starting a free geek like organization in fresno for some time and have even gone as far as registering the domain and creating a website for it (http://www.renewtech.net — free geek just seemed to… umm… geeky to me). if you dont know what free geek is, ill explain a little bit.
