John, If you have a linux server box setup, you could use this to run an SVN server. However, you probably do not need it to do what you're trying to do (integrate your changes with ongoing FlexRadio changes). This is automatic behavior that works 90% of the time. There are those rare cases where both you and Flex have both modified the same section of code. This is where you run into problems (SVN calls them conflicts). It is relatively easy to work this sort of thing out provided that it is not a huge block of code on both sides.
On a side note, I use a local SVN server on a windows box just to track small internal test projects. It is invaluable to be able to revert to previous versions of code easily for comparison. I would suggest trying to use the Flex SVN server (thanks to Dale, BTW for hosting) initially and then you can always build on that once you are familiar with how it works.
