Subversion is an open-source Revision Control System (RCS). With Subversion you will be able to make time-based snapshots of your files and folders. This is especially useful for creating time-based snapshots of source code. In most of my code work, I use Subversion (or svn) for my code repositories. Installing and maintaining an svn repository is very simple and straightforward.

Installing Subversion

This tutorial will show you how a simple svn repsitory is created and mantained in a Debian-based system using svn 1.2 and up. For this, we will be using Ubuntu 5.10 server. First thing to do is update the software repositories. From the console, you can download and install svn. You need to have sudo privileges to install packages into the system.

EDIT: It's back now. Many thanks to Ealden!

Something seems to be not working on planet so we'll turn it off for a short while and fix it up. We can't say when its going to be back but you'll just see a link above when its avaiable. Thanks for understanding.
