Hi all,

Could anyone guide me through on how to do just that?

I'm quite a beginner - Bubba makes for good practice...

I'd like to sync my iTunes Library with the music library on Bubba
every now and then.

Cheers,

Dennis.

as root:
enable debian repositories by uncommenting them in /etc/apt/sources.list

then:
apt-get update

and:
apt-get install rsync

other apps can be installed this way too, use:
apt-cache search <application>

to get a list of installable candidates for <application>

I installed rsync as described above and synced my Home dir on my mac with the Home dir on Bubba like this:

Code: Select all

rsync -vax /users/myusername/Documents/ myusername@bubba.local:/home/myusername/
Worked like a charm. You can do this for any two dirs, but do remember to place the "/" at the end...
