Hallo KyoungSoo and Robert,
thank you for your answers.

I liked the following message:
sudo yum install subversion

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

     #1) Respect the privacy of others.
     #2) Think before you type.
     #3) With great power comes great responsibility.


The installation completed successfully, but I'm still not able to 
execute svn. Is it fine if I paste the svn install output on the ML or 
is it better if I send it privately to the person who takes care of it?

I guess that svn is in some folder out of PATH, but I ran a find from 
root trying many names and I didn't locate it.


Adams, can you please tell me where I can read more about VM on PL? I
eventually will need to run multiple instances on each node to test the
solution, so I need to read more about that.

And then the last question: how can I see the rights/privileges I have?


Thank you.
Regards,
Claudio Campeggi
