Frank does make an excellent point here. As much as I despise Windows there is really nothing wrong with running Subversion on it. I don't know that it would be such a great idea on a P2 300 with 128 MB RAM, but if you can get a better machine it's certainly worth considering.

As much as it makes me <choke> to say this - why not just run Subversion
on a Windows box? If you are not familiar with managing a Linux server,
is now the right time to start?
If you are looking to start, my flavor of choice is SUSE. I use the
free, open source flavor at home for my projects there, and my work
repository is hosted on a SLES installation.

Frank
