RE: cloning a FreeBSD HDD
One further thing you might want to consider is a project out of the University of Utah called Emulab. I've been using the free client on there to dump and restore disks for a couple of years now. The advantage over dump/restore and especially dd is that it's _fast_. On my systems here I can get a GB or two per minute (admittedly over Gigabit ethernet). Also, it's designed to work over the network, making it easy to store your filesystem dumps on a central repository. http://www.emulab.net/ ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sadly, while Canadian banks are very good at handling payments to/from the US, they aren't very good at handling payments from outside of North America. When I asked about this I got the impression that such payment mechanisms were only available to business customers (i.e., those paying large fees for the privilege).

When I asked about this I got the impression that such payment mechanisms were only available to business customers (i.e., those paying large fees for the privilege). If I were to follow Marko's statement, I also live in a 3rd world country, which is Romania. Over here these services are available to absolutely everybody, no matter whether they have a credit or debit card. I've been using them for quite some time to transfer money in and out, without a single problem, be the transfers local or international. It's true that sometimes the managing fees were not exactly friendly (depends on each bank), but it was overall a lot less expensive than Western Union. I'm not familiar with the North American banking practices at all, but it might not hurt to push them a little ;) Colin Percival -- If it's there, and you can see it, it's real.
