the difference that i find valuable is that cloop is not a file system, whereas squashfs is. this means that i can use cloop to compress _any_ file system at the block level. very useful as a sys-admin.

the cloop[0] system from knoppix is something i use often to back up arbitrary file systems. debian has the cloop-utils which includes create_compressed_fs, and this is great for making compressed copies of file systems which can then be re

what about cinerella? when i researched what video editor to learn next after kdenlive it was cinerella. it seems to work fine, and i am surprised not to see any comments regarding it. seems like it is completely out of the running?

this sounds interesting. could you elaborate a bit? it is unclear if you are inverting once, or twice. "if you have a stereo signal, anything not fully-centered will come through better while the rest is cut out" -- is this before

Does anyone have any experience with ipop/groupvpn[0]? It seems like an interesting alternative to tinc in that it can do turn/stun using libjingle to bust nat. I'm not clear on how well tested or secure it is though. [0] ht
