My main system has a main system. With scheduled backups to an external hard drive, and online. I have a lot of data on it like pictures that I wouldn't want to lose.

But the external drive would still be there for backup. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
