This article teaches you how to do svn checkout on Ubuntu. First, make sure you have subversion installed on your machine, if not, read this article first. If you already have subversion installed, continue reading.
To make svn checkout on Ubuntu is same as any other Unix or Linux system. For instance, if I want to checkout Flash 3D library papervision3d hosted with Google Code at http://papervision3d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/as2/, open your terminal, and type
svn checkout http://papervision3d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/as2/
And you go to Places -> Home Folder, you should be able to see a as2 folder that contains the checkout files.
