MSW versus Linux server

[Brendan Simon <Br...@BrendanSimon.com>]

I need to setup a SVN server at work.  We have a Windows domain 
controller that will eventually be used for authenticating Linux clients 
using LDAP.

At this stage I'm leaning towards svnserve, rather than apache, for 
simplicity reasons.

Is there any advantage or disadvantage to running svnserve on a Linux or 
Windows server?

I would like to use both Linux and Windows SVN client software.  Would 
that make a difference to choice of server?

Thanks,
Brendan.

Simplicty comes at a price.  I you can authenticate via LDAP if you
use Apache, but that option does not exist via svnserve last I
checked.  svnserve is also not secure unless you use svn+ssh:// for
your access method.

Depends on whether you're using bare svn:// or svn+ssh://

The client doesn't care what OS the server is running.
