On Monday, the Subversion project is scheduled to release version 1.0 of their version control system, under development for several years now. Subversion was intended from its inception as the CVS replacement and it comes with many important features previously found only on commercial VCS like Perforce. It was designed for better remote performance, and it is multi-platform with a GUI/CLI front-end.

Bull. What "better features" are you talking about?
The Apache 2 module gives you three things:
* automatic, if base, online browsing of your repository (latest revision only);
* repository access using http:// (port 80) instead of svn://;
* user authentication using Apache.
*All* other SVN features are readily available with the internal svnserve. You can set up ViewCVS for the online browsing, and the user authentication with svnserve is easy enough (basically a file listing user = password pairs, and whether authorized / unauthorized users have no access, read access, or read / write access. If you can't set up an Apache 2 and can't open the SVN port in your firewall, that's a good sign that you aren't supposed to run a repository on the machine in question.
Surprising how many people dismiss a software without really knowing what they're talking about. For a time, I thought this is limited to the usual Windows - Linux, Linux - Windows hubris, but obviously the problem is a deeper one... :-(
