The only Austrian minister that went to jail I can think of was Grasser and he was minister of finance. edit: Ah right, there was Strasser. The Schüssel government sure was great.

I'm a long time emacs user and use magit as a fancy git-blame tool. Am I missing out on anything else it can do?

Package managers are the only sane way to install software. Even Windows + Mac OS somewhat came to realize this (even though their implementations are terrible compared to what we have in Linux land). It's shocking that people disagree
