RE: Subversion on Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP

Hi,

Even if you're going to only be storing files from an all-Windows environment, I would strongly suggest (as we have done) that you use a linux server for Subversion.

Among the many reasons I could name that we went that route are:

. Native scripting ability - things like pre- & post-commit scripts are a lot easier, not to mention things like automated backup scripts, etc, etc, etc
. Available commercial support - if you're really going to use Subversion for mission critical stuff, the small yearly fee to eg Collabnet is a very reasonable insurance policy.
. Native support of all server modes (both Apache and svnserve work so much better to my mind under *ix).

Hi All,

I am aware there are installs for Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP
Professional version 2002 SP2.

My question is which OS is more suited for an enterprise level
Subversion Server.

Thanks
Lakshman
