We have been using it in production on a Linux server for about 2 months
(since 1.1 rc1) with no problems (no hangs/wedges). We have 4
repositories:
Source 26,365 files in 5,000+ folders (1.2G) currently at 197
revisions
Eval (testing) 59,000+ files in 14,000+ folders (2.0G) 256 revisions
Docs 5,964 files (1.4G) at 71 revisions
Deploy (for tools deployment) 2,100 files (36MB) 91 revisions.

Most of the files were imported from our PVCS Version Manager Win32
repository.

It is much easier for our IT department to backup the data... (they
didn't even want to talk about Subversion when the data could not be
stored on an NFS share...)

Sorry, not using LDAP yet...

>is it feasible to put it in production for the next 3-6 Month's?

We decided it was feasible... We spent 3-4 months researching current
version control (and SCM) solutions (our short list included Perforce,
MKS Source Integrity, Bitkeeper, CoOp and Subversion/CollabNet which we
compared against our current PVCS Version Manager solution that had been
in place for over 8 years). We only spent a little more than 1 month
after selecting Subversion to putting it into production. (Note: We did
not port the historical data, we decided to just archive the PVCS VM
data).
