Rsync backup to tar or gzip archive
by Julian Underwood
Hello List,
I am wanting to backup my Linux machine at work using Rsync. I have a
mounted SMB share which it will be backing up to. I would like to rsync
"into" an archive, so the backup is all in one file. I've done some
googling and haven't found a real clear way to do an rsync backup into
either a tar or gzip archive.
Does anyone have a couple of one-liners or links they could recommend?
Thanks.

1. If you have less than 512m memory in the affected box increase to at
least 512m.
2. Look into the interrupt structure (and bus master issues) on your PCI
bus. Perhaps the sound HW has a lot of competition??
3. Consider using "nice" to make the soud applications and drivers have more
access to the processor time.
4. Install a low latency kernal (see:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ ).
Enjoy!

VPN Router for Linux (FC4)
by Ryan D'Baisse
I have recently setup three FC4 machines at home to try my hand at
Linux development. I will soon be setting up SVN and beginning to
use Eclipse for C++ and Java development. I would like to be able to
VPN into my network, here at home, and then use SSH, SVN, etc. I do
NOT want to simply open up all of those ports on my firewall.
Unfortunately, all of the VPN routers I can find (like the Linksys
models) all stress Windows.
Can someone recommend a good VPN router that will play nice with Linux?
Will I be forced to use the vendor's (Linksys', Netgear's, etc.)
proprietary VPN client software or does Linux come with something
that should work based on some standard?
Does anyone know if there are major differences between the Linksys
BEFVP41 and the RV0041, besides the gigE port?
Thanx,
Ryan
P.S. I have both DSL and cable, if that matters (port blocking,
compatibility, etc.).
