Saw the video. Very Good. Should be an entire ubunto book of videos. All of this documentation and links of this page should be consolidated and made downloadable in PDF form. Ubunto needs more optional books. There needs to be recommendations of good software like a backup program that has the features of DantZ/EMC Retrospect.
