Yeah a great meet I thought and a really good venue. Thanks to everyone for participating. I was gonna write a quick blog post on the LUG blog today with a couple of my badly out of focus pictures but Les has beaten me to it hehe :) So I'll just add the pics later. I'm definitely interested in trying out some of the stuff we discussed, particularly OpenVZ and ZFS. I haven't used Git really yet but I should try that too. <br>
<br>I still reckon Bazaar (bzr) might be worth a look for those interested in version control, just as another option or comparison really. It's similar to Git but claims be more user friendly, a bit like the "Linux for human beings" slogan you'd expect from Canonical. I don't know how successful or powerful it is in comparison to Git as I don't do many large coding projects these days. It's written in Python so may be slower on large code repositories but I can't say, worth experimenting with I think - <a href="http://bazaar-vcs.org/">http://bazaar-vcs.org/</a><br>
<br>I'm not buying that business of Git standing for "global information tracker". I reckon Linus knew what he was doing with that name and someone's come up with the acronymn afterwards to explain it, a bit like GIMP and all the other weird names we get in free software.<br>
<br>See you next month<br><br>Dan<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 11:15 AM, Joe Foy <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joe.foy@gmail.com">joe.foy@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
It seems I was close but not 100% right with why Linus named Git.<br>
