Creating system certificates?

I’m setting up and configuring a Subversion File Server running apache 2.x. I’m using the default generic Ubuntu CSR for SSL, but as I was going through this tutorial over on the gnoMint X.509 CA Manager SourceForge website to set-up a CA and found it was not completed since 2008. Argh!

This is a good tutorial! But, the author I’m assuming vanished! Can anyone direct me to a complete tutorial just like this one on how to set-up a CA?
