CVS and SVN

[Vbabiy]

Does any one have any tutorails or more information on how to use these things

[halojoy]

there should be some application softwares around for download
many of them open source = freeware

These applications are called: Version Control Systems

CVS, 'Concurrent Versions System' is one,
also set some kind of standard for such sofwares:
http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/

SVN, 'Subversion' is another: http://subversion.tigris.org/

Some sites with info and links:

Very handy to know CVS. My cvs server is a Linux box (80MHz, rockin!). Sometimes I have to code Windows stuff, so I use TortiseCVS in that case to access the CVS server.

Here are some of my links from my bookmarks:
http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html
http://www.durak.org/cvswebsites/doc/cvs_2.php#SEC2

I would recommend using SSH instead of pserver. Should be a simple config setting.
I think I needed to install putty on my windows box to access CVS w/ ssh. Can't remember exactly as its been a while since I set it up.
