>Thanks. The article confirms what I suspected when Jobs first described Time >Machine: It's a *lot* like Dirvish, as you can see from the description
Thanks too. I did not know about Dirvish. Yes it does look like Apple's Time Machine is borrowing from this open source project. Time Machine looks more attractive because I don't need to set up a Unix server. All Time Machine requires is another disk drive. The operating system takes care of everything else. I see an interesting note that Dirvish does not get along so well with a journaled file system. Hopefully kinks like this will be nicely sugar coated by Apple. I also wonder about how it works with File Vault. Has anyone spotted a Dervish applicance? This looks like a nice product for a compamy like Linksys to provide. Or mayne someone has a hack to convert an NSLU2 into a Dervish server? That would be cool too. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
