Huh? Most linux distros have pre-built packages that install in about
30 seconds. There was no porting, no running of things in a specific
order.

VSS does not require SQL Server. VSS is also positively ancient and
riddled with problems, the largest being the inevitable database
corruption. The 15 minutes it takes to set up Subversion is a
miniscule price to pay for the peace of mind it provides over VSS.
