Several guys (mis-)use Linux as war against Windows, which is really childish. But it seems they're an important amount, on both sides (There are even users who use Windows as a protest against Linux). That does, however, not help you to get an non-propietary tool. As long as there is nothing I could use instead, it's a good idea to use BitKeeper instead, and as long as there is a way to use it, users will actually look it up in the Documentation dir. If users don't find an answer there, they'll certainly massively bother the LKML. Documentation also contains information on how to use existing tools with Linux Kernel. If we exclude BitKeeper just because it's propietary tool, we'll get into trouble. BTW, why then do we include processor support into the kernel tree? I can't find any way to download them from the Internet! Regards, Thunder -- Thunder from the hill. Not a citizen of any town. Not a citizen of any state. Not a citizen of any country.
