This page contains links to various pieces of information
to help you decide to use Aegis (instead of some other
F/OSS SCM/VC tool). This page could have been titled
Marketing or
Advocacy but in the interests of accuracy, it's called
propaganda. Little of the material here tries to be balanced,
but it does try to be accurate; and, to be accurate, its purpose is to
convince you to use Aegis. With the exception of the last two items on
this page, the alternatives are hardly mentioned.
