Administrating the server isn't that big a problem; (probably as long as you don't have very special needs) The repository will take "somewhat" more than the contents of your head-revision of your projects. So this shouldn't be the big problem. So what I see in regard of having the server "lent" is: (in no special order) + You don't have to bother with server-updates (but still with client-updates) + They do the backup + You have your code accessible wherever you have internet-access and a cvs client + You can share the access with other developers - You need internet access to get at your code or commit - Internet-access will be slower then your local repository - You probably have to pay for your internet-connection - You have to live with whatever policies (update, backup, ...) "they" have in place HTH (just my 1 c) Martin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
