Orca Ok, stupid newbie question time, was Re: Settings dialog is partially unreadable

[Krister Ekstrom <krister kristersplace ws>]

Hi,
The jargon of Linux can be very confusing at times. what does "trunk",
"head" and "branch" mean in programming and svn/cvs terms? What versions
are the newest and which are the safest? If i should check out a version
from 2.18, do i down- or upgrade my version of Orca?
