Subversion is the current "best practice" version control system being
used in the open source community. It runs on all flavors of Linux and
BSD, Solaris, MacOS X, and all current versions of Windows. Subversion
is remarkable as a successor to CVS mostly for its scalability and
networking features. In the latter, it has a native client-server design
with exceptionally good access via a web browser. The project home page
is at http://subversion.tigris.org and you can find articles comparing
it to VSS, along with tips for switching, at http://www.subversionary.org
