There is no need to set up a server to try out Subversion. Install TortoiseSVN 1.7.1. Create a new directory C\:repos. Right-click on that directory, pick "TortoiseSVN->Create repository here" This gives you a repository to play with on the local machine. You can access it with TortoiseSVN, and other clients, with this URL: file:///C:/repos Please read Chapter 2 of the red-bean book before proceeding. It explains the basics quite well.
