Version control systems are commonly used by programmers. They allow for easy team work and version management. However their benefits can easily be exploited by regular users as well. This article’s purpose is to help you take advantage of Subversion at home to improve control over your own set of documents

This is the online home of Version Control with Subversion, a free book about Subversion, a new version control system designed to supplant CVS.

This is a place to read HTML and PDF versions of the book (although you can certainly buy a copy if you’d like to). We’ll do our best to keep the site up-to-date. As Subversion development continues, the product will continue to grow new features, and we plan to continue documenting those changes.

I, like many others, made the decision to attempt an install of Ubuntu 6.06 server with the preconfigured LAMP option without having ever attempted using Linux before. My goal was to build a setup that I could host my personal web site from. Embarking on this journey I had no idea how much knowledge I lacked and in turn would learn in my quest to host. I floundered around on forums and clung helplessly to Google for aid in all the places I fell short. I found that a really good resource for building a LAMP configuration for complete Linux noobs was either not available, or stuffed neatly in some Google Bermutan triangle which my browser was afraid to go. Hence, I am writing this as a partial documentation of my trials and tribulations with hopes of aiding all Linux noobs on the steps necessary to create a basic Linux, Apache2, MySQl5 and PhP5 system with FTP. Again, this document is tailored to complete Linux beginners and is in no way a complete guide to attacking such a setup. It will get you up and running but will need security hardening like no other.
