Hmmm.... I use CVS remotely across the Internet all the time -- in fact, it has made it possible for me to develop anywhere I can drag my laptop as long as I can connect back to the central server at home. You basically have to send it across a transport such as ssh, which is the way I do it. I actually found Subversion a pain to set up, requiring a web server as a part of the setup, and stop bothering with it at that point. I could've done it eventually, but as always I was pressed for time and CVS was already working. But that was back when Subversion had only been out for a few months. Today Fedora has it pre-installed, and I'm sure many of the early problems have been fixed by now, so I'm willing to give it another whirl. Another question, unrelated: Is anyone using PHP5 in any serious mission-critical applications? I'm very interested in switching to it -- but only if it is as stable as PHP4. I don't want my client telling me he missed out on $20K in sales because the server crashed. -- Fred -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- place "[hey]" in your subject.
