#add a better repo

-add some Xandros 'safe' repositories since for the life of me I couldn't find rsync in the Asus ones
-I added 'deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2 etch main contrib non-free'
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-cache search rsync
-I thought about trying unison but went for the tried and true.

#invoke magick

-sudo apt-get install rsync
-check it with a $which rsync

WooHoo now I can sync between the Macbook, errant SanDisk Cruzer 256mb usb key, handy synctoy enable Win work pc

More Asus eee fun: I was able to snap cheap pics on the webcam then upload them to a photo service. Try that with a iPod touch, opps it doesn't have a camera
