The great SVN, a very well known power, but like all vaults, most of us don't have the key to unlock its oh-so-great potential.
SVN (Apache Subversion) is a remote version control system used for synchronizing project files and... version control, what else? It all sounds technical and whatnot, but really it's simple. I learned from the master, which abandoned making SVN tutorials years ago (he only reached two of those for all I know). About 30 minutes before I started typing this, I was a complete SVN newbie, but here I am, talking like a boss!
Here, I'll detail you how to set-up an SVN server and how to download stuff from that, as well as uploading stuff in there! All for free!
For you semi-technical peeps, you won't be using an internet server, just a local server (ie. your computer), which means if you're planning to keep everyone in the world updated through that, be prepared to shell out some cash. Thankfully, you don't have to do that for your own, personal purposes (or maybe among friends or co-workers, but that's it).

It's a bit of time-killer to put a history section for those who want to learn fast. First off! You must download the stuff you need. This is the longest, time-consuming step for those people with not a lot of internet speed (like me). So first.... Ah, the links!
Visual SVN Server Manager
Tortoise SVN Client
So now you must download... downloading... downloading...

You done yet? If so, proceed, if no, just wait...

Do some research about SVN first, since I'll be shelling out some words that you may / may not have heard, but you don't know what they mean anyway. I will be giving you some little definition of terms at the bottom of each step for reference from the next step onwards.

Cool, didn't know there is a GUI for subversion, used Tortoise for the clients, but managing the servers and repositories from command line is a PITA.
