My uname -a reads :
root@edu [~]# uname -a
Linux edu.educationlinked.com 2.6.18-028stab068.3 #1 SMP Tue Feb 16 20:21:42 MSK 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I am not sure which Linux OS is this?
I already have a repository hosted at a free repository and i use Tortoise SVN on windows as the client. I need to do the check out etc on a Linux machine mentioned above.
I have read and read and got confused about what to use? Can someone please help me.
There should be svn utility on you box, if installed:
$ svn checkout http://example.com/svn/somerepo somerepo
This will check out a working copy from a specified repository to a directory somerepo on our file system.
You may want to print commands, supported by this utility:
$ svn help
uname -a output in your question is identical to one, used by Parallels Virtuozzo Containers for Linux 4.0 kernel, which is based on Red Hat 5 kernel, thus your friends are rpm or the following command:
$ sudo yum install subversion
