Implementing subversion, installing Eclipse PHP

After doing some research, and realizing that I can't easily write a web app to allow lay peoples the ability to run rsync.. I've decided to try and move to subversion.

I'm having some trouble finding a concise guide to doing it, and I want to read ALL about it beforehand, because although I'll be doing this on a test server, I don't want to mess it up!

In theory I should present a case for doing it before I go ahead, but since no one else here is even remotely technical, I'm not sure how.

I've reinstalled Eclipse with the thought it will be easier to check stuff in and out of subversion when the time comes. I also realised they have quite a decent debugger, once I'd setup mysql to handle the queries from my desktop, it all works great!

Still trying to work out how to make the debugger "ignore" certain errors (Debugger working for version 5.. but writing for version 4).

I am still on the lookout for new opportunities, I thought I had something recently, but it didn't work out. Very sad!

I think ICANN should call me back.. just because I can't remember off the top of my head the difference between sort, ksort, and asort.. and I can't off the top of my head write the regex for an ip address. Lets face it.. I don't use that stuff all that often, and google (and php.net) are my friend! All these things are very easily solved. Writing a decent web application.. well thats a LOT harder than remembering syntax.

Anyhow.. enough bitching ;)

ps. Here is how you find your version of redhat:
uname -a
cat /etc/redhat-release -------(laymans)
