All it'd need to do is add an extra +1,000 to the final number. Very nice, but maybe you could include an “It’s all going to be ok” checkbox or something, for people who’d like to pretend?

The Live CD's are also a great way of trying out the various flavors of Ubuntu (e.g. Kubuntu: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu and Xubuntu: http://www.xubuntu.org/) to see which desktop system you prefer. I have a really old laptop (from around 2001, which makes it about 60 in internet years!) that's practically unusable as its so slow running XP, keep meaning to trying out Xubuntu on it and see if it gives it a second lease of life. Good luck if you go ahead with the move. Cheers James.

It's really worth trying out. Apart from that you may as well be using the command line or the IDE integration I get from Netbeans. I agree though, when you first move from Windows to OSX you start to realise how good an SVN client Tortoise actually is. The integration of simple things like file delete with the svn delete command is the kind of neat feature that makes tortoise stand out. I quite like Syncho SVN for OSX. It’s really worth trying out.

I missed tortoise for a while when I made the move from pc to mac but having used the command line tool for a while now I have no problem with it. I have to agree with Paul on the command line Svn.
