Subversion SUCKS! The 'Sub' in Subversion stands for below par, as in BAD
SUCKASS DESIGN.
Run away now, while you can, don't install it. It's very hard to maintain,
buggy, crappy, bad design with impatient maintainers and bad writers who
can't write diddly. Some LOSER fell sleep after chapter 3. It's too late
for us, run and save yourself! Get Clearcase, Perforce, PVCS, VSS, or CVS
anything but subversion. The high volume of traffic on this newsgroup
should be a LOUD clue to anyone that so many people have unanswered
questions or problems. If the manuals were written eqlouently, most of us
would not have the need to be on here to ask questions and get snubbed.
Some folks just suck at reinventing the wheel. CVS is fine and does the job
but through word of mouth, Subversion has become another fad with fools
rushing in... God help us all!!

Ok, from the download link on the Subversion website you can find packages
that will install just fine on Redhat 9. (At least they did for me.)
However, what's this about FSFS being preferred over BDB? Seems like the
reverse was true not long ago. Is there a compelling reason why FSFS is
better than BDB?
