The Fedora 14 repositories have everything you need. Search the
packages for "subversion" and you will see many options (System ->
Administration -> Add/Remove Software or "yum search subversion" from
a terminal).  Have a look at the other tools too, such as Nautilus
integration.

1. The main package you want is "websvn." It will have dependencies, I
think yum will install them but they include subversion (of course),
httpd and php.

2. Set up a repository with "svnadmin" from a terminal ("man svnadmin").

3. Configure websvn to browse that repository.
