[CPLUG] Dual-boot Linux

[David Sharp]

I didn't mean to start an SCM war... (yes I did) For the unfamiliar,
read the first half of
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html and
decide if it's too complicated. I don't think it is. And git gui +
gitk make things very simple. I think a lot of hard feelings against
git come from the times pre version 1.5. It was horrendously difficult
back then--I gave up more than a couple times.
