I'm a normal user on a workstation, without root privilege. Usually, I have to test and revise the source code, while after lots of revisions, I get confused about what's new and what's old. I tried subversion, but a svn server with root privilege is required as daemon. So I wonder if there's a version control system which I can run as a normal user. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

If you are the only user of an SVN repo you can just put it in your private file space, you don't need to run a server to use SVN. The alternative is GIT, quite different in the way it works, but some people prefer it. Ciao, -- FA There are three of them, and Alleline.
