I have two email accounts, one at my local access
provider, and one on my own domain, hosted remotely. I'm running Fedora
29. Last time I looked, my host was running Centos. Now I see this:
$ uname -a
Linux <x.y.z> 2.6.32-042stab134.3 #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 12:26:01 MSK 2018
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Is something there the name of a distro?? (I've forgotten the
proper command, with 'release' in it,for asking a remote machine what
it's currently running.)
It's past time I ought to've downloaded a mass of cruft (old
emails) from my host's machine, stored them on some medium here (Maybe a
nice external solid state 2 Tb drive?), and gotten them out of the way.
They're slowing me way down.
I've never gotten around to learning rsync, nor even trying
Grsync. Last time, istr, I made do with cpanel at the host. Now the host
has something new to me, WHM, in front of cpanel, and I haven't the
faintest inkling what all it can do. Is there now good strong new EASY
magic for a subtechnoid like me to do the old chore, or should I just try
to recall how I slogged through before? I feel like a sorcerer's
apprentice, and don't want to drown in cyberspace.
