[http://www.wuala.com Wuala] is an application developed by Lacie. It is a Java application solution to offer some online storage in the "cloud". It allows automatic backup of your data and because synchronisation between PCs as well as time keep track or "version" of that you file (you can more or less run on every computergo back in time).

It is a Java application and because of that can more or less run on every computer. On their website they only have a package for Ubuntu but there is a package for all the otherothers.

To For Fedora 12 you will need to install it : java-1.6.0-openjdk-1, java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1, fuse-libs, fuse, xdg-utils. If you don't need several packagesthe full system integration you don't need fuse-libs, fuse, xdg-utils but you will loose having a virtual drive of your online data on the desktop

For Fedora 12 you will need to install:== Install ==1. Installation of dependencies yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-1, java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1, fuse-libs, fuse, xdg-utils 2. Download the latest version of wualaIf wget <nowiki>http://www.wuala.com/files/wuala.tar.gz</nowiki>3. Untar it as root in /usr/local (This will create a directory wuala) cd /usr/local tar xvfz wuala.tar.gz4. Manually start the program (make sure you have an account with them first) /usr/local/wuala/wuala -basepath /usr/local/wuala login YourUserName YourPasswordif all goes well you don't need have started the full system integration you don't need fuseprogram successfully and can test it /usr/local/wuala --libs, fuse, xdghelp /usr/local/wuala/wuala showStatus -utils but > will tell you if you are online /usr/local/wuala/wuala showSettings -> will loose having show your settings5. Start Wuala as a service I found a virtual drive little init.d script that sort of your online data on the desktopworks but it is not perfect. For example I can't seem to make it work with service so that it starts at bootup or shows that status is started. So if someone can fix it it would be great.
