I’ve been cursing Firefox on Ubuntu for making it so difficult to install a simple plug-in. I’ve been cursing Ubuntu generally, because after installing phpmyadmin on my localhost, it point-blank refused to open. As you can see, it worked! It got to the point where I had visions of not being able to import any posts and categories and being forced to start over.

It’s essentially a poor mans’s Disaster Recovery model – and in a hurry I’ve used it on some large installs for short to medium term ( ok, so some have been in place for years, but only where budgets don’t allow time to do it better ) remote replication / fail over / DR / BCP solutoin.

Cheers,
