ipsec-tools is a Linux ipsec client
vpnc is an ipsec client for Cisco concentrators with a simple configuration file.

Re: Howto: Easy full-system backup with rsync
Few comments:
Instead of all those excludes, I would use -x/--one-file-system switch and just list the mounted filesystems that need backing up (/ , /opt and /home/user/MyDocs probably).

micro-usb cable resists unplugging

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
It would be nice if it were that way, but that is not how DRM works. It's not a "feature" that you can just ignore or use at your will. In most cases, DRM needs to "infect" the whole system and...

Re: mbarcode
Then the user sees three packages and it's not entirely clear which to go for:
mbarcode
mbarcode-all
mbarcode-plugins
What about this instead:

Re: mbarcode
But it can still scan a barcode and save the output somewhere. It does not "need" the plugins. If you install the plugins, however, they will do nothing without mbarcode.
I think the problem is...

Re: mbarcode
This is the right idea, except that mbarcode-plugins should depend on mbarcode and not the other way around. I presume mbarcode can operate just fine without plugins, whereas the plugins won't work...

Re: fat32 filesystem
/home/user is on 2Gb partition that is shared with /opt so probably not a good idea to fill with data.
You could create an ext3 filesystem in a file in MyDocs somewhere, and mount it under .maps,...

The database appears to be in the /home/user/.BatteryGraph/BatteryGraphDB.sqlite file. I would expect the application to recreate it if you delete it, though I cannot promise it will do so.

Re: why mappero uses so much space?
You can waste up to 64k per file. Tile-based mapping appears to use many files, it probably stores each tile in a file.
Actual filesystem usage:

Re: why mappero uses so much space?
I suspect the large storage requirements have a lot to do with the FAT32 filesystem used for MyDocs. The block size is 64k so each file will take 64k no matter if it is 2k or 40k.
