Windows Subversion client?
Hello, I'm trying to convince the windows programmers at my workplace to adopt SubVersion instead of Source(Un)Safe (which they already hate anyway) but the best Windows GUI client is TortoiseSVN which the programmer doesn't like because it relays on Windows Exploder which can get stuck for minutes sometimes. Another client I'm a bit familiar with is Eclipse (which was the best CVS client I've seen) but it's Java and is going to be heavy on a laptop with VisualStudio already running on it. Using the command line tools looks very unatractive to them. Can anyone recommend any other useful clients (preferably Free/OSS)? Thanks, --Amos

Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds interesting, haven't considered it. On one hand, the Google people who announced Google Gears mentioned that SQLite can already handle huge amounts of data and they are working on making it work with Insane(TM) amounts of data. On the other hand, when all I need is read+increment+write maybe an SQL engine might get in the way compared to the simplicity of DBM? Cheers, --Amos

Re: Windows Subversion client?
If they liked the SS and used it for long, you wont convince a lot of them to move to the Tortoise client, try RapidSVN, its more SS like.

This is integrated wiki and version control system. Try it before you do anything and then make a presentation to the developers and introduce them to the new web wiki-project-version environment.

Re: Windows Subversion client?
I have no personal experience with it, but reliable sources have said well of the SmartSVN client. You can download that from http://www.syntevo.com/smartsvn/. They offer a free version and a Pro version. The free version is said to work fine. This client is Java based, but certainly lighter than Eclipse. For Windows, the site provides an installer with the Java JRE already bundled within (19 MB in all).

Re: Virtualization software on Linux

Re: Virtualization software on Linux
Hey guys, I am running Fusion with Unity on my Mac and I have a T60 with a vmx- capable CPU running Linux with VMWare on top. The Linux VMWare setup is working great, I have VMWare 6 running on it and I use it for Windows XP + Office 2007. Even though the T60 is a pretty sleek rig (2gig of ram, 2.6ghz cpu) I still see Windows being abit sluggish, even after allocating a gig of mem for it, but still very usable. The real problem for me is the lack of hardware video acceleration for VMWare in Linux and the choppy sound. I use iTunes quite alot, and when I plugged an iPod to VMWare 5 it would instantly oops the kernel. With 6, this is fixed and it also does USB 2.0. I cant complain from my experience with VMWare (less with Parallels, since I have not used for long) on the Mac. There are some minor issues, for example moving a window in Unity mode from one head to the other would cause it to render improperly, but if you move the whole VM window to the other monitor and then enable unity, it works fine (supposed to be fixed in future versions). Another one is the fact that as long as your virtual cdrom is plugged to the virtual machine, you cannot eject it since it appears locked to Mac Os, even if there's no disc inside (took me a while to figure that out...). Windows in Fusion runs very well on my Mac Pro, and the fact that you can detach application windows from the VM and interact with them as any other Mac app (called Unity in VMWare and Coherence in Parallels) is definitely a good thing. It also does hardware acceleration, so menus run quicker and you can actually watch video inside the VM. VMWare for the Mac however is very memory hungry, but I assume things will get ironed out as both Parallels and Fusion hit stable releases. The virtualization market on the Mac is alot more developed in terms of user experience in the desktop world, so if you need it for a desktop, that would be your better choice. I am looking at replacing my T60 with a MacBook Pro in the near future, but I have to get abit more friendly with the IT crew in my office;) Regards, Alex On Jul 8, 2007, at 10:03 AM, Eran Sandler wrote: Actually, I haven't decide whether to get a PC laptop (which will probably be a Thinkpad T61) or a Macbook Pro laptop.

All in all I want my day to day to be without Windows at all, but still be able to work and develop the necessary things I need with Windows without leaving my host. I prefer Linux but if the performance is worse than what I will get with comparable hardware on Mac + Parallels I'll go with a Mac.

Parallels or VMWare Fusion (both for Mac) use the virtualized extensions of the processor (if I recall correctly, all newer macs have those extension enabled). You should search which VMWare product suites you, depending on memory configuration you have on your machine, which version of software etc. For example: VMWare workstation 5 is WAY faster compared to VMWare 6. OTOH VMWare 6 supports USB 2.0, 4GB RAM, more NICs (if I recall correctly) and can be accessed natively with any VNC client, so you can run VMWare 6 on the background and occasionly launch VNC client to access it. VMWare server is free (as a beer) virtualized software. It's pretty stable (I have 1 right now running at my house for the last 50 days), but I don't think it supports the VT extentions of your new processor.
