This was a mixed Thanksgiving weekend for open source communities. We
had a renewed PR onslaught from proprietary software vendors ("Linux
is anti-commercial") and even hardball politics.
But there were lot of interesting announcements made: Firefox 1.5,
codenamed "Deer Park" will finally be unwrapped on November 29th (I
have been using the beta, and I love it). Among all this activity and
with little fan-fare, the Amanda project launched its new Wiki and Forums.

One thing about Amanda is that it is rock-solid. Sometimes it has worked for me even in face of hardware errors. It doesn't have a pretty GUI (but I don't use GUI's anyway). I have used Bacula a bit, and didn't see a reason to switch to it.
