A lot of good information can be found at subversion.tigrus.org.  I'm
not trying to dissuade you from asking here, but this support group is
really about Versions and how it interacts with Subversion (SVN), so
it's assumed that users probably have at least basic familiarity with
SVN.

This seems like a question for the support/community at GetPantheon.
I had a quick look over there and what they describe would not lead me
to believe that SVN was part of the package.

This is difficult to say without knowing specifics about your server.
However, one issue you will have is that Versions, like most SVN
clients, does not do server-side administration, such as defining
repositories and user security.  You will first need to configure SVN
on the server (create repositories, users, set permissions, etc),
before you can use Versions.  With a typical LAMP setup, this means
configuring SVN from the command line.

Another thing.  Is this LAMP deployment a production or development
system? Typically, one would install SVN only on their development
server.  It seems to me that if you're using a pre-configured LAMP
"appliance" for deployment into the Amazon "cloud", it would be for a
live, production site.  So, why would you need SVN there?

I know my reply didn't really answer your questions, but it sounds
like you are very new to SVN, so the answers you seek are likely to be
more easily found elsewhere, such as subversion.tigris.org,
getpantheon, etc.
