I want to start developing a simple Content Management System and
having done that before I know there is a point where you can't manage
different versions of applications unless you have a sollution like
version control.

I was thinking of having something like one installation for the whole
server, but some of you said that this might have security risks.

So I've tried to look into SVN which I was told that will do what I
like to do.

So if I have 10 websites with one Content Management System and one
development version that is tracked from SVN, I can then upload a
working version, in all my 10 sites.

The problem I am facing at the moment is I don't understand where the
SVN should be running.

I use a Dedicated Linux server which is fully managed and I can't
really play with it, otherwise I lose the support and ofcourse I don't
want that to happen.
And I am doing all the coding on a windows PC using dreamweaver for my
text editor.

Where would the SVN sit ? can someone tell me ? Is it worth to run a
virtual machine or a second home PC as a webserver and testing
environment ?

I am happy to listen to any suggestions and different setups you use
for development. Either that is work or home.

Thank you.
Angelos.
