Thanks to all who replied! It seems that Samba and rsync are the two best way to do what I want. I regularly use rsync to do my daily backups, but: 1) how do I connect the two machines? Any special cable, and where to put it? 2) it seems to me that rsync processes *all* the files and not only the ones that really have changed, which would take long with my 2G home dir. Maybe some special option of rsync? Thanks again Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
