onlamp.com — Cool article on OnLamp about a guy who uses subversion for everything in his home directory. He has a public section accessible from the Internet.Using subversion, he's able to have a history of his homedir as well as automated backups, so if he loses something he just rolls back.

I saw this dome with CVS a long time ago. Still, it's a neat hack.What I'd really like to see is a smooth roaming profile that works between Linux and WinXP. Shouldn't be too difficult; just the stuff on my Desktop and My Documents.

Great article. Subversion + Apache2 is a great way to setup your repository because you can use the authz_svn_module for granular permissions. TortoiseSVN is a great client for Windows users.

I'm doing the same, and I access my SVN repository through WebDAV so that it is a mounted filesystem with auto-commit. I store my eBooks, school work, papers I've downloaded, train tickets for printout etc.The coolest thing is that in addition to WebDAV I can use a normal webbrowser from whereever to retrieve any of my file as long as I supply my password. So when you are standing there and forgot to print out that "electronic ticket" - just find a web browser.
