Which Binary dist?
I'm on an O/S that identifies itself as GNU/Linux using the uname command.
Is there a binary distribution of Subversion for this? If so which one?
Thanks, Rob.

But it doesn't tell you WHICH distribution you're using, which was Robert's
problem :-) I bet he used "uname -o" which told him (correctly) that he's
using "GNU/Linux"...

Neither "uname -a" nor "ls /etc/*release" gives you the requested
information on Slackware:
davidc@mariner:~$ cd /etc
davidc@mariner:/etc$ ls *release
/bin/ls: *release: No such file or directory
davidc@mariner:/etc$ ls *version
slackware-version
davidc@mariner:/etc$ cat slackware-version
Slackware 11.0.0
davidc@mariner:/etc$ uname -a
Linux mariner 2.6.17.13 #5 Fri Dec 29 19:31:36 PST 2006 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
davidc@mariner:/etc$
This is what I get on CentOS:
[davidc@pioneer ~]$ ls /etc/*release
/etc/redhat-release
[davidc@pioneer ~]$ cat /etc/*release
CentOS release 4.6 (Final)
[davidc@pioneer ~]$ uname -a
Linux pioneer.layoutsynthesis.com 2.6.9-67.0.20.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Jun 26
08:14:55 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So which distro tells you its name directly from uname? Just curious...

I'm sorry, did I miss something? Does Mandriva not support
"uname"? "uname -a" tells you everything about your distribution.
Best,

That won't tell you which distribution you're using.

So now you know your OS, and Google turned up this nice document:
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Basic_tasks/Installing_and_removing_software
You just need to log in as root and enter "urpmi subversion".
Bye,
Marc

Ah, that's helpful - I get
Mandriva Linux release 2006.0 (Official) for x86_64
So, I was asking the wrong question - I should have been asking how to
identify my O/S! Cheers XoRDy.

Do this and tell us what you've got:
cat /etc/*release

Heh, that's like saying, "I'm on a vehicle that identifies itself as a
car" :-)
You need to find out which distribution you are on and how that distribution
does software management. Every modern distribution already has SubVersion
packages that it supports.
For example, if you are using SuSE/OpenSuSE (look whether a
file /etc/SuSE-release exists) then you can use "YaST" to install SubVersion
which is a quite user-friendly dialog oriented system. If you are using a
text console, log in as root and type "yast -i" to get to the software
management GUI.
Other distributions have easy software management as well, I think in
Debian/Ubuntu you simply say "apt-get install subversion" as root but I don't
know for sure.
