[ale] Open-Source Subversion Works Better Than Planned

[Jeff Hubbs]

I don't "distro-drop" as often as I should; it's a good way to do away
with old distro CDs that you really don't need anymore.  I was just
quite surprised at how quickly it got snatched up.  I have no idea who
this woman was or what her interest in or knowledge of Linux might have
been - for all I know, she took it home and gave it to her kids (YESS!)
