Thinking about it, Fedora 16 has an XFCE and LXDE spin and they now do install form a live CD so you can grab and try out what you want first. http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options I was pretty happy with 16 under the hood once i got used to fedora again. or you could get really out

moin moin, what is Google play? Replacement for Google market? Guess it's Google learning from KDE, specifically Aaron Seigo's Make Play Live project :). Ha, the help center article Google points to doesn't exist.

Hi, I have GIT installed on my server and I have Github.  I understand the versioning part.  The concept I am having trouble grasping is how I can use it a collaboration tool.   It is just me and another programmer.  We both have a local dev environment.  We work out of our homes and we

Git doesn't really allow file locking. You'd have to have some good communication to prevent working on the same file. Or... You can use the merge process. If the other person updates a file, pushes to the repo, and you try to pull it in after you've updated same file, you will be told you

The need for source file locking is often an indicator of a problem. Three likely ones: 1. Developers are not communicating enough. 2. The source file organization needs improvement (files too big, unlike functions/methods in the same file, etc.) 3. The architecture of the product, and therefore

Thanks Alan, 1. Developers are not communicating enough. - I was hoping to reduce the need to verify each time I need a file or a group of files.  This can be rather time consuming especially when we work when we want and may have a last minute task to fix or modify something that takes

1. Software development IS communication. To make it otherwise is to make it harder than it should be. Seems you either wait to ask for a file or you wait to see when the file is unlocked. Or you change how you work as a team such that asking is usually answered right away. 2. Don't rewrite,
