guys, this is for any compression experts on-list. my main desktop is nearly full. i'm looking for the best means of compressing [mostly] audio files. mp3, ogg, and .flag. i cross backup among my servers and would like to have the most reasoned approach to compressing my ~/Music/ files. is rar/unrar better that bzip -9? is there any new/forthcoming archiver on the horizon? actually, i am looking to buy/build a dual or quad system with two 1.5TB drives. but need help with that ... if anybody inn the seattle area can come over and help me. for now, i just want to be as sure as possible that my files are saved on at least two systems. thanks for any insights here. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 2.23a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
