I am on a good network here. I need to copy a bunch of AVI from a

SCP is only doing 188 kB per second, or 36 times slower.

I am copying from Ubuntu Hardy to Fedora 7.

WTF, how can I debug this. Thanks.

Get a real OS.
Switch to Vista.

AFAIK, Vista doesn't include scp or any other secure file transfer
software at all.

Nonsense. You can install rsync on Windows too.

As well as ssh and scp and .....

I can imagine YOU doing that. Anyone with half a brain would just stick with
Linux.

On the Windows XP computer that I use at work, I run X windows, the
whole works of xterms and binutils, perl, cron, and firefox.

That stuff actually works, but not quite as well as under Linux. For
example, you cannot access mounted network drives from cron.
