Though I have got SVN with ACL and all that going at couple of places,
I have never come around to use it. I have heard elsewhere that
Sysadmins use that for config file and the such.
Also I was wondering if we can have some tutorials around centos like
the excellent typical use case examples of Samba.
I will try and contribute what I can in terms of knowledge, experience
anecdotes and the such.
Perhaps in the wiki?
For example multi location scenario, cases of some server within and
some hosted with ISP etc. Suggested infrastructure components for
various scenarios like development/ distributed development, web based
app, fixed and adsl mixure of client scenarios etc. etc. etc.
Hope I am made myself somewhat clear...
Apologies for highjacking this thread...

Rajagopal
