To checkout just content of your svn folder, just add a dot at the end of your command:

svn checkout svn://209.235.175.18/easton/WebRoot .

To checkout just content of your svn folder into your local folder:

svn checkout svn://209.235.175.18/easton/WebRoot /home/seval/my_project_folder

The intention you have does not work. Cause SVN needs a separate directory where to checkout to. so i would suggest to checkout it like the following

svn checkout svn://209.235.175.18/easton/  checkout-folder

This will create the checkout-folder with the contents of easton folder from your repository.

That happens when you omit the PATH part of svn checkout command. Check out (hehe) the manual: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/re04.html
