Speaking of CVS, my company switched from cvs to svn(subversion.) It's free and the client software tortoiseSVN is very very easy to use. But I never set up the server side so I'm not sure if it's easy. Because it's good for corporate use, I suppose it's an overkill (I mean the set up and maintenance need) for small groups or personal use. I once tried to set up cvs server for my personal use and decided it's too much work for what I want to do, and I don't like the windows version manages users - you need to create a few Windows user accounts for it to use.
I remember there are some very simple and easy to set up cvs systems. I'm not sure if FreeVCS or JediVCS are such systems. I have no experience with them. -- Best regards, Jack Wednesday, December 14, 2005, 4:12:21 AM, you wrote: > Hi Cosmin > I'm off to check out JediVCS.
