Is distributed source control always the right answer?
,----[ Quote ]
| I just finished reading this piece of a conversation with Linus Torvalds
| regarding Git, and I remain unconvinced that going distributed would be the
| best thing for us. And I’m guessing that maybe most small teams of “closed”
| development probably don’t need a distributed source control system, either.
| It seems that the problems that have spawned this new model of source control
| is more of a problem for open source development, particularly of larger
| projects, and less of a problem for smaller proprietary development.

Linux: Poetry in Documentation

| Andrew Morton noted that he would consider the documentation patches for
| inclusion in the 2.6.23 kernel, to which Rusty replied, "indeed, no code
| changes, and I feel strongly that it should go into 2.6.23 because it's
| *fun*. And (as often complained) there's not enough poetry in the kernel."
| Linus Torvalds quipped, "there's a reason for that," going on to
| rhyme, "there once was a lad from Braidwood, with a wife and a hatred for
| FUD, he hacked kernels for fun, couldn't get them to run, but he always felt
| that he should." He added,
