From Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountains)
The USGS defines ten forested zones in the Rocky Mountains.[2] Zones in more southern, warmer, or drier areas are defined by the presence of pinyon pines/junipers, ponderosa pines, or oaks mixed with pines. In more northern, colder, or wetter areas, zones are defined by Douglas-firs, Cascadian species (such as western hemlock), lodgepole pines/quaking aspens, or firs mixed with spruce. Near treeline, zones can consist of white pines (such as whitebark pine or bristlecone pine); or a mixture of white pine, fir, and spruce that appear as shrub-like krummholz. Finally, rivers and canyons can create a unique forest zone in more arid parts of the mountain range.[2]

Is the branch falling because of seismic quake ?

I'm really sorry, I didn't see the top of the page!
I'm not a white racist; my apologies to you all.
From now on, I'll be more careful when providing some information.

....when you realize you can't use Ctrl+F to find a word in a real paper book /magazine /etc....

Yes, it can; you'll find examples on how to do that here:

Partimage is nice.

Dedoimedo has a nice how-to on its usage and Clonezilla's:

CTKArch is a really nice introduction to Arch , it helps you understanding Arch is not that complicated , especially with all the detailled documentation on the wiki .
When you're ready , you can try an installation of CTKArch , see that it's not that complicated and afterwards move to a net-install of real Arch....that's what I did and never regretted it , Arch rocks!

Checking the recipe's title would have told you the answer! (Courgette/Zucchini soup)

I had Sabayon Core installed 2 weeks ago and installation went like any CLI installation OS (Arch or minimal Debian, for example).
Can't say that the result was minimalist, no, and found it clunky and slow, as stated by omns. Also installed the full Gnome iso, with the same conclusions.
But the package manager, Entropy, and it's GUI, Sulfur, were quite interesting.

I've been having the same kind of problem recently, with Fedora 15; logging to WPA2 encrypted network wouldn't work, but WEP was, whether with network-manager or wicd.

Solution was to change the router's encryption from WPA2-TKIP to WPA2-AES. It's a quick fix you might try?

Withdrawing /home from / to its own partition
Adapted from a French tuto written by tellmewhy on Cep's blog: many thanks to them: http://www.cepcasa.info/blog/?p=12

1) Prepare and format the partition you want to become your /home, using the same file format your / has
(let's say it will be sda4 in this example, and that / is ext3 formated):

- open a terminal

sudo mkfs.ext3 -v -m1 /dev/sda4

nb: m1 retricts root's space to 1% in fstab)

- alternatively, you can use GParted to create a new partition, sda4 , formated in ext3 in our example

2) Log out of your session and log in a console with Ctrl+Alt+F2, then type

sudo telinit1

(When in a graphical environment, /home is used, so you can't go any further (or you have to use a live CD for that).
Telinit1 enables you to be in recovery mode.
When you want to go back to the normal mode type telinit2 (without sudo)

3) Move your /home onto /dev/sda4

mkdir /mnt/new_home 

will create the mounting point

mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/new_home

will mount the partition that will receive the new /home

cp -a /home/. /mnt/new_home/

will copy /home/ on the new partition
nb: it's /. and not /* , check the difference here: http://www.cepcasa.info/blog/?p=12#comment-4237

mv /home /home_old 

will rename /home and could be used in case of any problem

mkdir /home

will create the new /home which will be the new mounting point

umount /mnt/new_home

will unmount /dev/sda4 in order to remount it when /etc/fstab will have been changed

4) Modify /etc/fstab

a) Not using UUID:

nano -w -B /etc/fstab

 
nb: the -B option will make a copy of the old fstab
Add to it

/dev/sda4 /home ext3 defaults 0 2

Save your modifications with Ctrl+O and then exit nano wiith Ctrl+X

b) Using UUID:

You first got to use blkid to know which UUID to use, for sda4 in our example

blkid | grep sda4

Then the output result will come, like this

/dev/sda4: UUID=”5e3a2a15-15a1-3217-bd57-2ed463eb41a3″ TYPE=”ext3″

Fire nano

nano -w -B /etc/fstab

Add

# /dev/sda4
UUID=5e3a2a15-15a1-3217-bd57-2ed463eb41a3 /home ext3 defaults 0 2

Save and exit with Ctrl+O and Ctrl+X

5) Mount the new partition with

mount /home

6) Get out of telinit1 with

telinit2

7) Get back into your usual graphical environment with Ctrl+Alt+F7 and log in

8) Check that everything is ok, that /home has really become independant

mountpoint /home

should give you the following answer /home is a mountpoint

9) Later on, you will want to remove the /home_old directory with

sudo rm -Rf /home_old/

Be cautious when doing that, no typing mistakes!

PS: Instead of using telinit1, you can use the recovery mode from your distribution.
Then, in that case, no telinit2 is needed; computer must be rebooted.

if you open a terminal and type $ sudo fgconsole  ; you'll get the name of the tty you're in (7 if you're in the GUI oone)
if you type $ sudo chvt 4 ; then you'll leave the GUI tty and get the tty4; you can go back to the graphical session with either Ctrl+Alt+F7 or after login on that tty, with $ sudo chvt 7
