Computer Saving Options

Norton Ghost Review Here

Norton Ghost is one of the best hard drive cloning softwares for windows on the market right now. It can do everything from within windows, and so long as you know how to use a mouse and keyboard, you should be ok running this software. CNet usually gets sponsored to do reviews and they are usually very informative. They are a decent news source for tech related products. If you don't want to spend money though, the next option is for you.

Clonezilla Information Here

Clonezilla is a cloning software that is written in linux and was developed in the sourceforge community. The software is copy-lefted, which means that it will remain free so long as any piece of it's code is implimented in future produces, and must have open source code so others can improve the produce indefinitally. Sourceforge is a very useful website with people that actually developed and are still developing the product you are using, and can help you with any problem you encounter. Clonezilla requires you to be tech savy enough to not freak out when the screen isn't a GUI. Clonezilla makes a decent effort to guide you though what you will need to do, but if you cringe at the idea of selecting from a menu with arrow keys, then this isn't for you.

Blog Review: Ye Olde Rad Blog III

Ye Olde Rad Blog III

I chose to review Ye Olde Rad Blog III because it has an extensive article on Clonezilla and how it works. The Blog has been around since January of 2008 and has on average 8 posts per month. The theme of the website is very spuratic ranging from topics of Books, to economy, fatherhood, politics, programming and many more. The website offers its articles by month or category, and has a search feature to make it easier to find what you are looking for.

The website itself is very easy to find information on, very rich in information on topics they do hit, but if it has something that would interest you would be a hit or miss here. Personally the name doesn't seem to explain much about the blog, and the blog's topics are a little too sporadic for me.

Blog Review: KingBeetle Linux Blog

KingBeetle Linux Blog

I selected this blog for review because this site dedicates itself to Exploring linux programs, and Clonezilla happens to be a Linux program. They even have an article on Clonezilla.

The blog itself has been around since August of this year, and has accumulated over 19 Articles in the form of blog posts.He is rather active with his blogging considering the length of some of these posts. Most of the articles have to do with linux, with 1-2 that are tangents on other neat stuff.

The blog has a link list to other blogs that KingBeetle is running, and an active tag list to help find topics of interest in his blog posts. The articles themselves are the only help you will find on the site. The site itself has most of it's important links to the articles placed higher to the top them some of the less useful gadgets, making browsing easier.

Overall, i like the site for it's content, but the theme that the user picked is extremely annoying to the eyes, and he has far too many gadgets. A little bit of clean up is in order.
