From JWZ's writeup:

"If you're using Linux, it's something a lot like that. If you're using Windows, go fuck yourself. "

Classy.

As if Linux people need reminding on backups. It's the home Windows users that need this reminder. I just gave a presentation on home backups 2 weeks ago to a group of about 75 people. They were *shocked* when I put up a slide with great big letters saying "EVERY HARD DRIVE WILL EVENTUALLY CRASH".

With 1TB usb HD's going for under $100, there's no reason not to have home backups.

Yeah, I'm dissappointed that he threw that in. The rest is so good that it sticks out as being in really poor taste.

But the basics of his advice are really sound, which is why I linked to it.
