Subversion (SVN) is an alternative to using Concurrent Version System (CVS) for collaborative development, though it has other uses if you develop on more than one machine and wish to keep all your work in a central location. This guide will show you how to setup Subversion with Webaccess via the Apache2 mod_dav svn module. If you already use apache 1.3 you can continue to use that, just change the port that apache2 listens on in its httpd.conf file. Subversion Book is an excellent resource for information outside the scope of this guide.

Many services on your FreeBSD either workstation or server benefit from knowing the time accurately, whether they are cron tasks or if you are sharing files around your network and you need the timestamps to be consistent across the network. The NTP daemon and the ntpdate program allow you to keep accurate time on your FreeBSD machine via the Network Time Protocol. The ntpdate program is being slowly replaced by NTPd, and indeed ntpd -q will act the same as ntpdate, so it is on its way out. Also the ntpdate program has reduced accuracy when compared to the ntpd. This guide will show you how to setup your machine to keep time using the NTP daemon, and also show you how you can setup the NTP daemon to act as a Time Server for your local network.
