There are options for that up in the top menubar for the terminal application.

I agree - Ubuntu used to have that "Operating System for the People" feel to it, bringing free & powerful computing to the people of the world. It's still free & all, but it's lost that pleasant vibe.

I'm a big fan of separating services into multiple dedicated VMs atop a stable base system. I like to use Virtualbox Headless.

Here are some scripts if you're interested:

Doesn't security updates for debian stable end once the next stable is released (after about 2 years)? LTS offers 5 years of support

This thread convinced me to give it a spin - I'm cloning my laptop HD now (posting from my work laptop). Really neat tool - easy to use, great concept (i.e. "cloning", and not having to worry about...
