G'day Christian,
I believe your question is answered in the FAQ:
"What operating systems does Subversion run on?
All modern flavors of Unix, Win32, BeOS, OS/2, MacOS X.
Subversion is written in ANSI C and uses APR, the Apache Portable
Runtime library, as a portability layer. The Subversion client will
run anywhere APR runs, which is most places. The Subversion server
(i.e., the repository side) is the same, except that it will not host
a BDB repository on Win9x platforms (Win95/Win98/WinME), because
Berkeley DB has shared-memory segment problems on Win9x. FSFS
repositories (introduced in version 1.1) do not have this restriction;
however, due to a limitation in Win9x's file-locking support, they
also don't work in Win9x. That limitation will hopefully be worked
around in 1.1.2.
To reiterate, the Subversion client can be run on any platform where
APR runs. The Subversion server can also be run on any platform where
APR runs, but cannot host a repository on Win95/Win98/WinMe."
