Good job. You can sleep a bit more sound. SuperDuper is also a full backup solution I find very easy to use.

I saw your post about distros and kernels.

I only added the Voodoo kernel as you mentioned you already were using it. It offers some features which are a no brainer for AMD users. AMD machines need to applications patched and it does it on the fly. Makes life a lot less troublesome.

I use it on my Aspire one because most of my other machines are AMD and so im failure with it. It does perform some other useful tasks such as "Blacklisting" certain files which give us osx86 users problems. Now I you should have disabler.kext which also performs the blacklisting function. I added it as a precaustion. There is an Alpha version of the more recent Voodoo Kernel that Im starting to use on my aspire one just so that I can provide them with feedback on bugs I might find.

With the disabler.kext file you should be able to run the vanilla kernel from apple. Just remember the kernel requires two other files to be of the proper version. System.kext and Seatbelt.kext must be of the same version in order for the machine to function properly.

If you are interested in trying out the vanilla kernel you will need to round these files up. You could download the 10.5.8 delta "not combo" update and use a program called Pacifist to extract them.
