SVN Check out failure on Dbian - SSL error: Key usage violation in certificate has been detected

sudo apt-get install libneon27
cd /usr/lib
sudo rm libneon-gnutls.so.27
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libneon.so.27 libneon-gnutls.so.27 (double check that symbolic link is created)

Another way  is to upgrade SVN client to latest SVN 1.8.xx which already handles http/https access.

Reasons behind this [2]
GnuTLS library is an alternative to OpenSSL. Most Subversion clients for Windows are built against OpenSSL and are not affected by this issue. While some Subversion packages (available mostly on Linux-based operating systems such as Ubuntu and Debian) are built against GnuTLS and are affected.

Run windows app on Linux using Wine.

[3] askubuntu.com/ difference-between-wine-and-mono

If your Linux PC has limited RAM and you don't want to sacrifice large chunk of RAM to run VM just to be able to run one or two windows app. Wine is your answer. You save buying one window license to run window app.

[1] Shows you how.

PlayOnlinux is also mentioned as a wonderful tool to make it possible to handle different versions of wine and wine configs because if you use it for more then one app it's sometimes necessary to install different wine versions.

You can use Wine for that purpose. but it only works on .net 2.0 / 3.0, Most probably, .net 4 is beyond the capacity right now. Ur best bet is for .net support on Linux is MONO. [2]

Remote desktop from Windows to Linux

Through VNC as most people traditionally did.
Through RDP. [1]

# chkconfig --levels 35 xrdp on
# service xrdp start

# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

Under debian using xrdp + vino [2] [3]
 vi /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

bitmap_cache=yes
bitmap_compression=yes

# set empty username because VNC auth 
# doesn't actually use username, so no
