Can you give me your collaborative tool recommendations? I and a friend want to write a program together, but alas, we can't sit next to eachother in order the use the power of pair programming. Is there a tool that would allow us to develop in realtime?

I need to test a series of functions in PHP. The functions return a boolean value for a series of conditions (e.g. if the user has foo and bar, but not hotch, then return true.) My problem is that there are a potential of over 1000 cases to test. Can anyone suggest a way to automate this process?

Is there an online community or web site that mentors new programmers? One in which the student is guided through the different phases of development of a small, but not insignificant program. If one doesn't exist, would it be a worthwhile endeavor to create a mentor community?

Can some recommend an open-source version control system that will run locally? CVS seems a bit unwieldy, and other online reviews are geared toward large applications/development groups. Windows based if possible, but Linux is fine, too.

Can anyone suggest a book, website, etc. that describes the process of breaking a problem down in order to write a program. I have struggled for far too long trying to figure out how to write a program from scratch only to be stumped by the logic involved.
This question, I think, is outside of a specific language or philosophy (Java, OOP, et al.). It's just something I haven't been able to get my head around.
