    No. There are plenty of corporate sysadmins. I am arguing that MS Workplace Sysadmins are not the ones this advent was meant for.

      Not really - there are lot of "real" sysadmins working with bought software such as RHEL and AAP...

      This HN?

      > you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.
