Well actually even though I don't think it's the time to switch, arch seems pretty cool, and when it _does_ come time to change someday, I think it's a real contender. Arch has an appealingly tool-oriented approach, and uses `understandable' data representations, unlike subversion which seems to be more of a `big binary blob' design... I did find an interesting thread on arch on the OpenBSD mailing list, BTW, where Tom Lord does a pretty good job of answering some skeptical questions; a google search should turn it up... -Miles -- The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. --Albert Einstein
