this seem like the most appropriate thread rsync on cygwin no longer sucks! I updated a server I setup in December and rsync went from <7MB/s to 105MB/s uhh never mind it's only fast when you initiate rsync on windows, pushing from linux to windows goes at ~33MB/s Perplx fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Mar 5, 2015 |

Try to auto partition? Crash. Manual partition? error message (ubuntu had no problem installing past the 2tb mark. I don't even know why its an issue because gently caress googling this poo poo). Shrink ntfs partition to ~1.5tb to make a small boot partition? Oh, parted 3 took out resize? no problem, I'll just google to see if there is another way.

Ubuntu Install: click install along existing operating systems. I've yet to janitor anything in /etc, or run a command as sudo that wasn't apt-get. The only reason I was trying fedora was because there policy of trying to push all changes back to upstream. Edit: take that back. Had to add a directory to ldconf because lxqt rightly installed its libraries to /usr/local.
