Hey all, I was trying to order DSL for a friend's company yesterday and I thought you all might like to hear the story. First, since the company uses Ameritech phone lines, I thought I'd start there. Checked their website but it was too far. Verified distance problems with DSLReports.com and

The phone companies tend to be very conservative with distances so it is indeed possible that another ISP could reach the spot. That said, however, speed and reliability is always a rapidly diminishing quantity with distance and line quality. Some DSL equipment will reach 50k feet with

Backing up debian

I am finally making my cheapo lindows box into a honest machine by installing a backup program. I just mount a drive on another computer, run find -newer somedate and tar them and zip them. Works OK. I fine tune what files to tar with sed /file/d. Now, my question is, on a debian machine, since
