If you look for something that is 'state of art', use subversion.
Perforce is a commercial alternative that has much similarities
to subversion in its principles, but comes with an easy to use GUI
client (and its free up to 2 users).
If you want to use something you can have without updating your server, you
probably will need to use CVS ...
Source Code Management
And if you get serious, try alienbrain... I mean, just check their customerlist [1].. It's quite impressive..

SVK is a decentralized version control system based on subversion, if you get into much larger and more complicated projects at some time in the future.

OpenSVN.csie.org offers free subversion hosting. TortoiseSVN is my SVN client of choice.
How secure is this site? who's running it? what tells me my source code won't be "peeked at"?
Quote:Original post by Code-RIt's actually pretty good. You can disable annonymous view access, create secure user accounts for SVN authentication, etc... I generally don't worry about such things though because whoever actually succeeds on getting through the secure server wouldn't even know what they'd be looking at. I usually give all my source code out for free anyway. I'm a communist. It's a free service they're providing there, use it and give back to the open-source community.Quote:Original post by Rob LoachHow secure is this site? who's running it? what tells me my source code won't be "peeked at"?

I'd have to recommend staying away from CVS. It's incapable of dealing with Unicode files (yes, some versions eg. WinCVS claim to support them, but it completely screws up the whole repository) and it's also terrible at dealing with large binary files eg. audio wavebanks or FMVs.
I'd also recommend subversion over cvs. If you are using java as your development langage CVS is a very bad fit. If ever rename a class you have to rename the file its in and it will make you loose all history information in cvs :/

Renaming files is hardly exclusive to Java. I'd say CVS is a poor fit for any kind of modern development.
