Too Far Afield

I just moved a 12 GB large backup file from the /root directory to a users home directory and it took less than a second. On the same physical hard disk though. A few weeks ago I did the same on a clients Windows box and it took ages (acutally: around 56 minutes). That’s why I love Linux.

Shameless plug: If this post was useful to you, please consider buying yourself something from one of my Amazon stores: US store, UK store, FR store, DE store, CA store. If you're not into Amazon, why not donate something to GNOME, Mozilla or Wikipedia? Thank you!
