On the subject of SCM's. After experimenting with as many of the various 
options available as I could I settled on Monotone. The initial ramp up is 
a bit steeper than darcs but it has been rock solid for my usage. There are 
some pretty big users of it (openembedded for one) and it seems to be 
improving pretty rapidly. 

Just my $0.02.
