Re: [BackupPC-users] Advantages of internal over external hard drive?

Have you tried ssh -c blowfish?

3des is the default cipher for most ssh implementations and blowfish is

In pioneer days they used oxen for heavy pulling, and when one ox
couldn't budge a log, they didn't try to grow a larger ox. We

computers.  --Rear Admiral Grace Hopper

What would you rather have to plow a field: two strong oxen or
1,024 chickens? --Seymour Cray
