It turned out my Ubuntu server does not start Subversion automatically on boot. I found this website with instructions how to create a startup script.
Create a file called “svnserve” in the /etc/init.d folder
$ sudo nano /etc/init.d/svnserve
Add the following line to this script in order to start the Subversion server:
svnserve -d --root /srv/subversion
Save the file (CTRL+O) and exit nano (CTRL+X)
Now make the file executable
$ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/svnserve
Add the svnserve script to the init.d boot sequence
$ sudo update-rc.d svnserve defaults
Now you’re done! On the next reboot the SVN server will start automatically.

Quintin, a friend of mine, showed me a way to readout the sensors of my EEE Box in Ubuntu server.
The first step is to install the lm-sensors package
$ sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
Then you need to load the w83627ehf kernel module using
$ sudo modprobe w83627ehf
In order to have your sensors detected launch the command below and follow the steps shown (basically you can just press [enter] to each question).
$ sudo sensors-detect
Now you can readout your sensors by using the command
$ sensors
Remember if you want to load the w83627ehf module every time the sysem reboots, you need to update your /etc/rc.local with the line:
modprobe w83627ehf

I have three computers: MacBook Pro, Netbook and a PC. They all have their own data. It would be very nice if I had all my files on just one location (e.g. my server). The only problem is: how do I access these files in a secure way. SSH is an option, but does not quite fit my needs. The solution: NFS over a VPN. NFS fulfilled all my needs, but I do not want to open NFS to whole world through my router.
A VPN, gives me access to my home network and makes it possible for me to access all my files in a secure way. My server (an Asus EEE Box) runs Ubuntu Server, and there is a Linux version of OpenVPN! I thought installing OpenVPN should not be that hard; I just need to find the right tutorial.
