Hi, I am a programmer and a user of LNX-BBC. In my professional life i use the LNX-BBC to fix Linux Workstations. I have developed an application thats very usefull for system administratos. Im asking you if there is a way that it could be included in the distribution of this OS (since it would be a usefull tool for me and others). The application is called GHome Mover and can be considered stable since it has more than 4000 users around the world and passed two releases without any bug found. The compiled Console Version of GHome Mover (a single binary) has something about 50KB. There are no special libs needed. What GHome Mover does? GHome mover is an easy-to-use GPL application designed to carbon-copy a home Directory from a user to another. This application also looks at the files for references to the old directory/user and replaces with the references of the new dir/user. Ownership is also changed. Who would use GHome Mover? - A corporate network administrator wants to create a pre-configured desktop for the employees. This desktop includes documents of the company, icons, shortcuts, links and configuration files. The administrator creates a sigle dir and personalizes it and then, with GHome Mover moves it to all the machines in the network. - A computer Geek has the username "megahacker2002" and we arent at 2002 anymore so he creates a new username "megahacker2003" and with GHome Mover transports his configuration and personal home to the new home. - Someone wants to create a backup of his files into another directory and knows that the standart linux coping tools dont make a good job so he uses the GHome Mover application. There´s more information about the Console Version of GHome Mover at the project page. http://www.brookepeig.com/ghomemover Sorry about the english, im from Brazil Thanks for the attention!
