Setting up Linux server for code repository and team workspace?
 

Hey guys,

Wanna set up a decent workspace/code repository on a Intel Pentium 4 processor, 2.8 Ghz, 2GB DDR 2 and plenty of HD space.

What distro should I use? First choice is Ubuntu server, though I'm open to suggestions.

Is there a tutorial that can show me how to do this? What I really want is just the ability for my team to log on and code/work, simultaneously.

Thinking about keeping my repository local. Whenever someone commits to that local rep, will changes be reflected for other users? Extra help on this would be much appreciated.

I'm not a newbie to linux, but I ain't a pro either. My teammates, on the other hand, barely now how to handle it.

Thanks!

What would be easy is to install Ubuntu server, then follow some online howtos to install Subversion -- arguably the most well known and simplest version control system in 2012. Make one login account and one SVN account for each person.

I prefer setup when code editing build done on one server and subversion installed on another server. And no one has login to SVN, so repository server (as much more important, IMO) is lot safer then build server

install subversion it is simple and easy configuration
