Right now, I have two machines (a 64-bit desktop and a 32-bit laptop)at Fedora 11 and one (another 64-bit desktop) that's still backat Fedora 8. Upgrading to Fedora 12 soon is the obvious thing todo, since there are drawbacks to waiting too long to upgrade (although this is not an issue if you use PreUpgrade or yum -basedupgrades).

Except, well, I haven't been having the best of luck

Suppose that you have a directory full of configuration files thathave been there for so long that they're still being maintained withRCS. Further suppose that you would like to change to a modern versioncontrol system, say Mercurial, but that you would like to preserve allof your old version history.

Mercurial has no direct support for converting RCS files, but there'sa magic trick: a CVS repository is nothing more than a bunch of RCSfiles in a directory hierarchy plus a thin layer of easily created

Here is something that I did not see and understand until the last(aired) episode of Bakemonogatari smacked me in the nose with it:Bakemonogatari is really a love story. A romance, like Toradora.

And like Toradora, I think that it is a good one. It does not have alove triangle, because that's not the kind of story it is telling; it ismore telling the story of how two peculiar people come to fit togetherand to more or less understand each other.

Here is something that may shock people: we're still maintaining systemsfiles with RCS .And I maintain that this is not as crazy as it sounds, once you digunder the surface, and that system administration is one of the lastplaces where RCS is sensible some of the time.

For all their myriad benefits, the drawback of modern version controlsystems is that they really want to be used on whole directories (ordirectory hierarchies). This is generally pretty okay for source code,where you have directories
