I've been using TortoiseSVN for a while now for a few of my side projects, but for the hosting I always used some other companies.
Now the time has come when at the company where I work, we start experimenting with it and I'd need a few pointers, regarding how to install a svn server. I came accross link text and link text but I'm a bit unsure which one's the way to go, or if there's any difference between the two of them. ( My only worry about the visualSVN one is that it inccludes an Apache server if I'm right, which might cause problems for us, as we use the server we're going to install svn onto for other purposes too, including hosting sites using IIS ) Also, being able to access the repository through the web is not important for us as we'll mainly access it through the local network.
So any recommendations which one to install?
cheers
I have used VisualSVN and it is very simple to setup and manage. If I remember correctly, you don't need to configure or do much setup with Apache if you're not going to use it for web access. I have not heard of SVN1Click, but that just seems like a way to get you up and running.
Another install you may want to look at is CollabNet. Not quite as straightforward as VisualSVN, but it is well known and I have used it and have been happy with it.
My best advice would be - download them and try them out for a bit (before deploying out to your company) and have some of your developers try it out (on a test-basis only) and determine if the server meets your company's needs.
