Using my Slug as a Mercurial Repos
I've bought a slug inspired by the now defunct Linux Reality podcast.  It had been hanging around for a while but now I've found something worthwhile to use it for.  I've been using Mercurial for distributed version control and the slug makes a great central repos.  I've got Debian etch running on the slug and mercurial was a simple apt-get away (actually I use aptitude to manage the packages).  With mercurial installed and a little setting up of ssh keys I'm good to go.  I simply have a single mercurial user on the slug and make sure for any files that I edit I first pull from the mercurial user and when done push back.  I can now edit the same files from work, various computers at home and at the inlaws and keep the whole thing under control.  Now, if only I could get a symbian S60 version of mercurial going...
