Re: Alternatives for remote access?

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see why setting up an apache
server should take more than about 10-15 minutes if it is packaged
correctly (like my apache RPMs) (I do it very
frequently especially when testing multiple versions of Subversion).

With SSH port-forwarding, how is CVS via ssh port-forwarding significantly
different from Subversion via ssh port-forwarding? It seems to me that
they both do the same thing.

I've not tried it so I may be missing something. I'll see if I can cook
up a test of Subversion server installed in a user account with no special
privileges and accessable via ssh port-forwarding.

If/When I get it to work, I'll report back.
