Any distributed version control system (DVCS) like Mercurial, bazaar
or git
is superior to a client-server model like TFS, CVS or SourceSafe.

Actually, it's not. Look up some of the Mercurial tutorials to see
exactly how they handle splits and merges. Ted is right.
I've never run Visual SourceSafe (thank god!) nor svn, but I did fire up
Mercurial with the Tortoise UI, and found it quite easy to get running.
(My understanding is that Mozilla uses Mercurial while the Linux folks
use Git.)
IMO, the great advantage of a distributed system like Mercurial or Git
is that you DON'T HAVE ANY 'Team Foundation Server' to administer!
