I believe so, but I am not certain.  I know that you can host a
repository on Windows, but I don't know about shared over a file system
with a Unix host.

You can learn more by googling 'subversion book' and following the first
link.  That covers what you can, and can't, do with Subversion pretty
well, and includes details like setting up servers, repositories, etc.
