This particularity allows features not found in any other backup solution: * Clever pooling scheme minimizes disk storage and disk I/O. Identical files across multiple backups of the same or different PC are stored only once resulting in substantial savings in disk storage and disk writes. Also known as "data deduplication". * Optional compression provides additional reductions in storage. CPU impact of compression is low since only new files (those not already in the pool) need to be compressed. * A powerful http/cgi user interface allows administrators to view log files, configuration, current status and allows users to initiate and cancel backups and browse and restore files from backups very quickly. * No client-side software is needed. On WinXX the smb protocol is used. On Linux or Unix clients, rsync or tar (over ssh/rsh/nfs) can be used * Flexible restore options. Single files can be downloaded from any backup directly from the CGI interface. Zip or Tar archives for selected files or directories can also be downloaded from the CGI interface. * BackupPC supports mobile environments where laptops are only intermittently connected to the network and have dynamic IP addresses (DHCP). * Flexible configuration parameters allow multiple backups to be performed in parallel. * and more to discover in the manual...

Package: qemu-kvm Description-md5: ca12f81f7f6570f33c3e0184f231e216 Description-en_GB: Full virtualization on i386 and amd64 hardware Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual PCs, each running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualised hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc. . KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux hosts on x86 (32 and 64-bit) hardware. . KVM is intended for systems where the processor has hardware support for virtualization, see below for details. All combinations of 32-bit and 64-bit host and guest systems are supported, except 64-bit guests on 32-bit hosts. . KVM requires your system to support hardware virtualization, provided by AMD's SVM capability or Intel's VT. To find out if your processor has the necessary support: . egrep "flags.*:.*(svm|vmx)" /proc/cpuinfo . If it prints anything, the processor provides hardware virtualization support and is suitable for use with KVM. Without hardware support, you can use qemu emulation instead. . KVM consists of two loadable kernel modules (kvm.ko and either kvm-amd.ko or kvm-intel.ko) and a userspace component. This package contains the userspace component, and you can get the kernel modules from the standard kernel images. . This package contains support for the x86 and x86-64 architectures only. Support for other architectures is provided by the qemu-kvm-extras package. Package: quilt Description-md5: 8eeb0522bc56c3acd93b9e763f3dcd28 Description-en_GB: Tool to work with series of patches Quilt manages a series of patches by keeping track of the changes each of them makes. They are logically organised as a stack, and you can apply, un-apply, refresh them easily by traveling into the stack (push/pop). . Quilt is good for managing additional patches applied to a package received as a tarball or maintained in another version control system. The stacked organization is proven to be efficient for the management of very large patch sets (more than hundred patches). As matter of fact, it was designed by and for Linux kernel hackers (Andrew Morton, from the -mm branch, is the original author), and its main use by the current upstream maintainer is to manage the (hundreds of) patches against the kernel made for the SUSE distribution. . This package provides seamless integration into Debhelper or CDBS, allowing maintainers to easily add a quilt-based patch management system in their packages. The package also provides some basic support for those not using those tools. See README.Debian for more information.

The traditional Yi scripts have been in use for centuries, and have a tremendous number of local variants. The script was standardised in the 1970s by the Chinese government. In the process of standardisation, 820 symbols from the traditional scripts of the Liangshan region were chosen to form a syllabary. . The syllable inventory of a speech variety from Xide County, Sichuan was used as the phonological basis for standardisation. For the most part there is one symbol per phonologically-distinct syllable and vice-versa. The direction of writing and reading was standardised as left-to-right. Punctuation symbols were borrowed from Chinese, and a diacritic was incorporated into the system to mark one of the tones. . Font sources (Fontographer .fog) are available in the source package and on the project website. . Author: Peter Constable, Alex Kotlar, Peter Martin Package: ttf-wqy-zenhei Description-md5: 1e5c788bfbd34f18409a1ccd47e50c2b Description-en_GB: "WenQuanYi Zen Hei" A Hei-Ti Style (sans-serif) Chinese font WenQuanYi Zen Hei is a Hei-Ti style (sans-serif type) Chinese font. It was designed for general purpose text formatting and on-screen display of Chinese characters among many other languages. The embolden strokes of the font glyphs produces enhanced screen contrast, making it easier to read and recognise. The embedded bitmap glyphs further enhance on-screen performance, and can be enabled with the provided configuration files. . WenQuanYi Zen Hei provides a fairly complete coverage of Chinese Hanzi glyphs, including both simplified and traditional forms. The total glyph number in this font is over 35,000, including over 21,000 Chinese Hanzi. This font provides full coverage of GBK (CP936) charset, CJK Unified Ideographs, as well as the code-points needed for zh_CN, zh_SG, zh_TW, zh_HK, zh_MO, ja (Japanese) and ko (Korean) locales for fontconfig. . Starting from version 0.8, this font package provides two font families, i.e. the proportional "WenQuanYi Zen Hei", and the monospaced typeface named "WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono". Package: ucf Description-md5: 868b817bdd864e79bb40541703c5d18a Description-en_GB: Update Configuration File: preserve user changes to config files. Debian policy mandates that user changes to configuration files must be preserved during package upgrades. The easy way to achieve this behavior is to make the configuration file a 'conffile', in which case dpkg handles the file specially during upgrades, prompting the user as needed. . This is appropriate only if it is possible to distribute a default version that will work for most installations, although some system administrators may choose to modify it. This implies that the default version will be part of the package distribution, and must not be modified by the maintainer scripts during installation (or at any other time). . This script attempts to provide conffile-like handling for files that may not be labelled conffiles, and are not shipped in a Debian package, but handled by the postinst instead. This script allows one to maintain files in /etc, preserving user changes and in general offering the same facilities while upgrading that dpkg normally provides for 'conffiles'. . Additionally, this script provides facilities for transitioning a file that had not been provided with conffile-like protection to come under this schema, and attempts to minimize questions asked at installation time. Indeed, the transitioning facility is better than the one offered by dpkg while transitioning a file from a non-conffile to conffile status.

In most cases it is desirable to have the X font server (xfs) and/or an X server installed to make the fonts available to X clients. . This package is missing three fonts from the X.Org source archives because the license terms on the fonts do not meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines; they are the Type1 fonts Adobe Utopia, IBM Courier, and Bigelow & Holmes (B&H) Luxi. . This package requires the xutils package to prepare the font directories for use by an X server or X font server. Package: xfonts-unifont Description-md5: 38ac189d3fac2ca98891370d4da5be03 Description-en_GB: PCF (bitmap) version of the GNU Unifont This is a bitmap font in a standard X11 format. The font provides a glyph for each visible code point (character) in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the world's modern writing scripts. This font looks best at 12pt. . Complex fonts (such as Indic or Semitic scripts, where letters change shape depending on their position in a word, or such as Mongolian, which is written vertically) will not render perfectly. The philosophy behind this font, though, is that anything meaningful is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph. . Consider using the TrueType version instead (ttf-unifont), because that version is scalable to any point size. Package: xfonts-wqy Description-md5: d1e014a5340b459b56600c368f86155a Description-en_GB: WenQuanYi Bitmap Song CJK font for X The Wen Quan Yi bitmap font is a manually fine-tuned multi-strike bitmap font for on-screen display of Chinese (traditional and simplified). It has arguably the most complete coverage for Chinese characters among all known open-source bitmap fonts, including CJK Unified Ideograph (U4E00 - U9FA5) and CJK Unified Ideograph Extension A (U3400 - U4DB5) glyphs at four different sizes (9pt-12x12 pixel, 10pt-13x13 pixel, 11pt-15x15 pixel, 12pt-16x16 pixel) and two weights (medium and bold). . Use of this font in web pages and elsewhere eliminates the annoying "blurring" problems caused by the high stroke density of many Chinese characters and insufficient "hinting" of anti-aliased Chinese fonts. . This font also provides bitmap glyphs for Basic Latin, Japanese Hiragana (U3040 - U309F) and Katakana (U30A0 - U30FF).

This package provides four commands: xterm, which is the traditional terminal emulator; uxterm, which is a wrapper around xterm that is intelligent about locale settings (especially those which use the UTF-8 character encoding), but which requires the luit program from the x11-utils package; koi8rxterm, a wrapper similar to uxterm for locales that use the KOI8-R character set; and lxterm, a simple wrapper that chooses which of the previous commands to execute based on the user's locale settings. . A complete list of control sequences supported by the X terminal emulator is provided in /usr/share/doc/xterm. . The xterm program uses bitmap images provided by the xbitmaps package. . Those interested in using koi8rxterm will likely want to install the xfonts-cyrillic package as well. Package: xulrunner-1.9.2 Description-md5: 45ac572f0edd09a0a47c8f9bd1502ec9 Description-en_GB: XUL + XPCOM application runner XULRunner is a single "gecko runtime" that can be used to bootstrap multiple XUL + XPCOM applications that are as rich as Firefox and Thunderbird. . XUL is Mozilla's XML-based User Interface language that lets you build feature-rich cross platform applications. These applications are easily customised with alternative text, graphics and layout so that they can be readily branded or localised for various markets. Web developers already familiar with Dynamic HTML (DHTML) will learn XUL quickly and can start building applications right away. . XPCOM is a cross platform component model. It has multiple language bindings and IDL descriptions so programmers can plug their custom functionality into the framework and connect it with other components.
