[ale] nfs & collisions

[James P. Kinney III]

The absolute fastest way is to sneaker net with a hard drive. 

You can use scp with encryption turned off over a crossover cable with
both ends set for full duplex. But that will take longer than plugging
in a hard drive and reattaching a case.

Seriously, a 20G data move is about what I dump daily from several
drives through my tape drive. Use an external scsi tape and tar from one
and untar to the other. My Ecrix does about 3MB/sec. Which is pretty
respectable.
