I just started to familiarize myself with rsync and have copied a few directories from machine A to machine B. Would any of you be kind enough and share your reasons with me as to what rsync does better than rdist ? I am on a Sun Solaris 7 SPARC 60 machine using rdist on a 100MB LAN. Currently I am using rsync version 2.3.1 that is available on all of the machines on which I want to use rsync. I have downloaded and installed rsync version 2.4.6 on my machine, and plan to replace the old version with the new one when I am convinced that it is advantagenous to switch from using rdist to rsync.
