Default Re: RAR File Format

Everything has its pros and cons. The same discussion of toys vs bare-efficiency comes up with unix vs linux. Im not about to get too fanatical on either side of the line. I just go ahead and keep one of each. If one is a bare-bones workhorse secure server arrangment, and the other is a dont-sweat-it load lots of toys and pretty stuff desktop, then I dont have to bang my head on trying to get one to act like the other. Those were Sparc/Solaris and Win98se, now a bare bones GNU Linux and a WinXP desktop. Im debating a BSD or MAC for server, and a fully GUI Linux for desktop. I have access to W2K servers as telecommute admin work and I dont think I will go that route any time soon.

But in any case its all pro and con. The only way to decide which is better is to decide which advantages/disadvantages you prefer.
