Actually, they do. In fact, it's nicely designed to support distributed development. However, you can't just throw it on a box and expect that aspect to work. It needs design and admin, two things I'm sure the kernel developers don't want to twiddle away a lot of time on. Linus and the kernel team have special needs ... and are able to skip some other requirements that different types of development teams can't. -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
