I would second that motion: avoid Clearcase like the plague. I have personal experience with it. (I was forced to use it.) Clearcase is extraordinarily expense compared to the alternatives, and is extraordinarily complicated as well. It appeals only to pointy-haired bosses. In passing , I note that Linus uses BitKeeper (http://www.bitkeeper.com/Products.BitKeeper.html) to maintain the kernel. A free binary version is available. I believe that the BitKeeper Free Use License allows commercial use, but you must use Open Logging and maintain the BitKeeper software at the latest revision. Also, even though I have no experience with it, you should probably look at SourceForge v3.1. And if you're on Solaris, I recommend Teamware. Simple, fast, intuitive, and easy. --- Vladimir -------- Vladimir G.
