Thanks for the URL. I _knew_ that the info was somewhere on the www,
but often times it difficult to find exactly what one is looking for.
*SMILE* 'Information Overload' I believe its known as.

I think I read that link a year or 2 back. I saw that SVN / Subversion
was all command line and script based & that discouraged be, because I
was never particularly skill at writing scripts. That's why RapidSVN
appeals to me. It uses a GUI interface to control Subversion.

I have not used any version control systems before. Does it work like
the way ftp client programs and Macro Media's DreamWeaver 3 and 4
manage files in website design? I've used those programs before and DW
uses a similar technique for managing its website files.

PS - I read those web pages you linked me to over the next few days.

PPS - I'm still trying to figure out how I can use my .theme files I
created as 'root' user on this computer (Mandriva OS). [see my other
post] With my current user (peter), a non-admin, normal user on the
same computer. I think I need to log in again as root and share the
files. That's another thing I need to learn about *sigh*. So much to
learn - so little time. ;-)
