you see, there are little gnomes that come at night and... > Why do you suggest to use subversion? Why not start with something > that more developers already know how to use (CVS, RCS, etc.)? well, I don't recall RCS having network extension, yet I do remember that CVS servers has been known to spring leeks and the CVS developpers keep warning people it's designed from trusted intranets and not the internet. I think subversion is too new and rare to be considered secure by default either, and let's not forget it does heavy use of apache reconfigurations if memroy serves... no, I never installed it, have you? I think the basic philosophy of the IGLU server management (if history can teach us anything) is that stability is bliss, since people kept starting new unmaintainable setups on the old servers, patch them around and leave them without an upgrade path, then abandon them for the next project. we also decided that the minimum possible should be installed (again, AFAIR), so why bog down the system again? I see no reason why we should invent new uses for the last 30 gigs and then wake up one day in 2005 to discover we ran out of disk space again. if you must use up the free space, I suggest a Mandrake urpmi mirror, of which there is none in Israel. or the GNUwin 2CD set which is a nice offering to balance the Linux-centric mirror of Hamakor. also how about ReactOS and an ISO of FreeSBIE? -- Last but not least Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/
