Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There is ssh. But we don't have rights to install anything.

CVS is pretty standard on Unix boxes. Might be installed already.

They don't list it as a service, but I'll ask.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If it's not already installed, it can't hurt to ask if you're allowed to install it.

t edit Is it radically different from a CGI script? 'Cause you don't have to 'specially ask to install those.

I've asked. Waiting on answer.

And it's not CGI -- it's an executable. Comes in an RPM and everything. Needs to be installed as root.

No, not the pharmacy chain.

Nor my little sister. Because my parents named her with those intials, despite the fact that we live in a CVS-store region....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

ita, if we can't get CVS installed, what about hosting development stuff at sourceforge?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That would require being officially open source, wouldn't it? I'm not sure we're ready for that prime a time.

Fair enough.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

ita, how much source is involved? And how many developers? I've got a FreeBSD machine sitting on a DSL link with a dyndns.org domain name, but limited bandwidth and disk space. It's also not the fastest machine in the world, but it might do the trick.
