Best way to clone an installation (copying to identical hardware) @YumYumYum: dd makes copies of a file/partition/drive. So if you clone a bootable CD (either .iso image or a CDFS partition) the result will be bootable as well. But dd will not "convert" a given set of folders/files to a bootable image. |

How does deja-dup react to whole folders being moved? That sucks, at least for one of my backup profiles: I constantly re-organize my music and movies collection. Also documents, work projects, etc. The files themselves rarely change, but their name and location may vary drastically. |

What happens if Déjà Dup tries to back up to a disconnected external disc? The fact it uses duplicity as a back-end does not mean it can't offer features like notifications for disconnected drives> it would wait for the user to plug it in, and then start duplicity |

How does deja-dup react to whole folders being moved? Nice answer, but... ewww! (about duplicity's lack of such feature). The same goes for rsync, which is duplicity's "backbone"? |

What is safe to exclude for a full system backup? Very interesting approach. It will yield a significantly smaller backup, but require way more trouble (time, internet bandwidth) when restoring. A compromise that may be worth in some use cases. Questions: how about /lib, the same applies? And how do you restore such package selection? |

How can i change the default name for the screenshots made by gnome-screenshot? Shutter is amazing by itself, and this is imho this is the best approach: instead of fixing bad filenames, do not produce them! |

Open-source, free Java Decompiler Hum, that's a start. It is GPL v3, hosted on github, very active commit-wise, so 3 major pros... As for cons, it looks like a very young project. Have you ever used it? Have any idea how it compares with, for example, JAD? |

Open-source, free Java Decompiler if "Java Decompiler" is the JD I posted in my questions, it is also proprietary. For the "others", can you please elaborate? (website, source code, license, etc) |

Recommendation for editors @papukaija: how dare you say such heresy??? Of course cat is an editor. Actually, it's the only editor real men need:
cat > myfile.c. Type in your code, CTRL+D to save. Who needs more? |

How to change tooltip background color in Unity? @JJD: I'm usually against "thank you"-only comments, but your article is awesome. I noticed it uses the same approach as this answer. Since I already use a custom shell script to launch Eclipse from both command line and .desktop file, adding the GTK2_RC_FILES=... env is easy. Thanks :) |

VirtualBox client OS (using NAT) is able to access host's LAN - How come? @Web-E: Nope... single adapter, default settings. Attached to 'NAT', TCP forwarding is blank. The folder sharing on my LAN is pretty permissive, but I never thought it would be visible from a non-bridged VM. |

How to change tooltip background color in Unity? Is there a way to change this for your user only (ie, not require [gk]sudo? I'm sure that, as most gnome settings, there is a per-user config file/dir |
