Pietro Moras > Email studio...@hotmail.com > Greetings Pietro, Start here http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ Then I would recommend a Google search like *install subversion {platform_or_distro_you_use}* -- for example here's a good quick overview at Ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion Remember, `Subversion` is both a client software and a server software, so it doesn't do you much good to learn `svn ___` (client) unless you have already used svnadmin to create a repository...
