-A is admittedly for somebody who does everything outside of a DE like

Also add -H, -A, and -X. These aren't just edge cases!

How would compression help when it's on the same host?
Not a bad idea, however we would have to make arrangements for a space. The two

Hi,
What do people think of the idea of having events that would be half hackathon
half lecture. Something where people could show up and code in a relaxed, club

time to kill, so i found an unused 1TB USB hard drive in the drawer
and thought, what the heck, just do an end-of-year backup of all of
/home/rpjday on my fedora box, and since i don't care how long it
takes, i just did a basic "cp -a" to preserve owner/group/timestamps,
and it's chugging away,
