CTMs for FreeBSD.

Introduction

Periodically people posts to lists asking about CTM, or ask me why & how & what I use CTM for, or I recommend CTM to them;, so each time I had to re-assemble a list of URLs or scripts & text fragments as examples, So here it all is below:

Why I use CTM :

CTM is efficient on data transfer & connection time, Important if you are paying for it. On limited bandwidth it was appropriate: I used to use a modem a long time ago, then ISDN, then came DSL, DSL I always had with flat rate, ISDN I think was not flat rate. Recently a friend dropped back from high speed to low (moved out of city) Maybe I'll travel more & need mobile USB net sticks, with limited data contingent until band width throttling. Also, CTM is gentler on servers than csup, ... so I've always been happy to keep my feed via CTM.

Thanks To:
