Actually, I never asked which is "better". I only asked what the differences are so that I could make an informed decision about which one to use. I correctly assumed that compression ratio and speed are not the only differences. I have since learned about file permissions, data integrity, portability, and other differences. > Then install them and test then yourself. It costs nothing. > Test what? I know not enough about them to know what to test. I would have never learned about the data integrity issue by my own testing, nor about file permissions because I would not even think about that. That is why I asked the experienced people here.
