This started with an offer of my University (Mathematica for 13 Euro), but I don’t want to invest time in a tool I won’t have (free, or almost free) access to for the rest of my life.
My article about using rsync to mimic the behavior of Apple’s Time Machine generated a lot of traffic, and more important, a lot of feedback.
