On my linux virtual server I have subversion running, everything is working fine. As a single developer I use 1 checkout on my local machine (max osx), edit files, commit and so on, everything is fine. What I want: I want a second checkout on a different machine (no problem). On that location I want to edit files (no problem) and commit it to the repository. So my question: Is it better (or necessary) to use a second "virtual" user when working with a second checkout directory? - like "simulating" as if there were two developers? Or is it no problem to use the one and only subversion user I have created managing and working with two or more checkout directories?

It depends. If you want to check your showlog (later) based on these virtual users, you can commit as different user using svn co --username different_user_name or just leave it. creating multiple virtual user helps you to track

Don't forget to update the source on machine one when you make changes on machine two. And vice versa.

So do I have to checkout as a different user too?

And one additional question: Do SVN-User and LINUX-User must be the same?
