Hi gang, does anyone know of a simple way to synchronize a few user directories on two computers? I've thought of using tar to do it, but he tar archive is roughly 3 GB, which is a bit more that I want to mess with. Here is the situation: I have a desktop PC, that is my main computer at the house. It is the one connected to the internet. When at home, I use this PC to do all of my work. My second PC is a laptop. I use the laptop to take on the road and to do work when my wife is using the main PC. Currently I have an identical copy of my home directory on both PCs. Ideally, what I want to be able to do is to synchronize the home directories (basically 2 subfolders in my home directory) automatically. A tar archive could in theory work, but I think it is a bit cumbersome. I am running debian unstable on both systems (yes, I like to live dangerously). Mike

Linux Services

by Mike Pressel

I am currently working on a dissertation for my MBA. I am looking into the Linux services market, trying to get a feel for where it is now and where it is likely to head in the next 3-5 years. Would anyone be willing to speak with me about how your company is using Unix/Linux, what your current plans are for it, and what is holding you back from implementing those plans? I typically need 45 minutes of your time. As I am working with a commercial company on this project, the results will be used for commercial purposes as well as serving as the basis for my dissertation. All comments will be completely anonymous -- there will be no links between comments, individuals, companies, or even countries. Thanks Mike

Burning files that are too large

by Yves Glodt

Hi, I wonder if there is a way to burn a file that is slightly too big. E.g. putting a file of 710MB on a 700MB cd. The last 10MB being lost by this operation would not bother me too much as it's a divx. I have not found a way to do this with k3b... is there maybe a way using cdrecord directly? Thanks and regards, Yves -- Linux 2.6.11.10 #1 Wed May 18 17:50:55 CEST 2005 i686 00:30:30 up 2 days, 4:57, 1 user, load average: 0.71, 1.32, 1.26
