Hi all. I'm currently working like a ClearCase admin and configuration manager in a world-wide company. And I can say the CC (ClearCase) is unbelievable expensive. In my country 1 developer on-site license costs about $6500. And another $6500 for multi-site license to share the same source code between two or more sites or countries. You have to have both of them to access multi-sited source database. It means $13000 !!!! for single developer. > > At a previous job, I was one of two system > > administrators that supported ClearCase in our Solaris environment for > > about 100 engineers.

I am one of two administrators too. Configuration of the fully automated multi-sited with synchronisation of replicas system took us about 6 moths. But now a year after it works fine and without significant troubles.

So this is my point of wiew from CC admin of CC network with cca 1000 developers. CC is milk cow for Rational and is totaly unusable for the linux kernel developers. In this time I know nothing about BK, but who knows the future ... :o)
