Subversion Recommendation

[Bassam Abdul Baki]

It's not for programming. Mostly Word documents. No Visual Studio or any other programming IDE.

I'm using VisualSVN and Ankh.

visual SVN is good option but as you need stand alone one, Tortoise SVN works fine.

Sorry, I meant VisualSVN+Tortoise.

I'd say definitely go with TortoiseSVN. Single download and install and you have everything you need to connect to your SVN server. Works really well.

Nope. I can't recommend anything that is free in this genre. The absolute BEST version control software I've ever used was StarTeam. Unfortunately, it's expensive as hell (if it;'s even still available).

Git would be the alternative to Hg. IIRC Hg's got a better windows toolchain while GITs is better for Linux (might have something to do with it being Linus's brainchild :rolleyes: ).

I've used StarTeam. I'll have to agree that it's relatively easy to use.

Then use TortoiseSVN, not VisualSVN. Besides, it's cheaper We use both and both have been solid

Don't have a server per se. I have three Win7 computers accessing data on a fourth.

[Bassam Abdul Baki]

Thanks! I'll look into it. My other issue is I don't have a server. Just three Win7 computer sharing data on a fourth. No server, no domain.

[Dave Calkins]

That's fine - however you have your SVN repository setup should be ok. TortoiseSVN is a free Windows app that will let you access your SVN repository. And the download contains everything you need to do that, its very easy to use, etc. imo its the way to go if you're using SVN.

[Dave Calkins]

How are you planning on hosting your SVN repository? I believe you can use straight file:// access but they advise against this from what I've read. Anyway, assuming you somehow get an SVN repository setup, TortoiseSVN is a good client.

[Bassam Abdul Baki]

I'm not sure yet. I haven't been able to set it up correctly since my lab is a little ad-hoc.
