[Novalug] best way to back up a home partition.

Don,

so, after you use deborphan, what do you do with the info?

I get:

pereira at lithium:~$ sudo deborphan -z
        244 libneon26
        240 libapr1

Now what? Should I try to get rid of these libraries? should
I figure out why they were orphaned in the first place?

I very much enjoy your list of good command-line things to
do, so please keep them coming.

Nino
