Please #boost. I'm looking for devices for storing long-term digital archives of files (text, PDF, etc, nothing exotic). Needs to be fairly futureproof. Probably doesn't need to be super high capacity (but it can be). I know certain kinds of optical media are designed for long-term storage, but I doubt our ability to find the right kind of drives in ten or twenty years, thus thinking USB will be a fairly stable physical interface. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

Doesn't have to be bottom-of-the-barrel; if (say) a typical USB stick isn't likely to work long term but some other USB-readable device is, I can look into that.

EDIT: After some reading I'm leaning toward an HDD, in FAT32 or EXFAT format, in a USB enclosure, with written instructions to spin it up once a year and reproduce it on new media every five years.

Question for the distro hoppers: Still reading this Linux book and it has a weird line "On Linux there's often a group called sudoers", my understanding is this is a Debianism, and most distros instead have a wheel group, is that correct?

It's nice that they are being so kind as to warn us beforehand that the show will be trash, so we don't need to waste our time being disappointed, like it happened with the He Man show that had no He Man.

Our project leader @mattdm took the Fedora Slimbook 14" to our booth at FOSDEM this year. It was a great time and the laptop got lots of positive feedback! Thanks again to @slimbook for the unit. :)
