Hello! I'm working on a bunch of projects currently. I'd like to be able to keep track of the progression of this project. From what I read on wikipedia, a CVS would be what I need. Also, I think I have seen someone on gamedev using this system to generate useful progression log (even graphics :)). I'd like to have a bit of help on how to set up this kind of system so that I can keep track of my work. I had a look at nongnu.com/cvs but i'm a bit confused about where to start. Any help or link to referances are appreciated, thanks!

May I suggest Subversion instead of CVS? It is basically CVS, but (in my and several others' opinion) better.

The manual can be found here, and a good client is RapidSVN.
I also recommend Subversion over CVS (Subversion was intended to replace CVS, so it's an improvement in almost every regard). The TortoiseSVN manual takes you through the steps of setting up a repository, importing your source and working with it.

Subversion is cool, but just on the odd chance you acutally wanted an answer to your questions you can try:

TortoiseCVS also makes setting up a CVS repository relatively painless.
