I've been using Subversion for some of my own stuff and it's a big improvement over CVS. If anyone is looking to get started with version control I definitely recommend just starting with Subversion instead. I'm still working on convincing the rest of my team that we should use it for Wildstang... there's one last holdout who insists he can't live without CvsGui.
BTW, Dave Scheck and the rest of us at Motorola don't use CVS for work. We all use another version control system called Clearcase from IBM. It's much nicer than any of the open-source version control systems, but unfortunately it's big $$$.
One last thing: to the person who said it's not worth it for 20 files, trust me, it really is. It's worth it even if you only have 1 file to worry about. Anyone who's spent any time writing software has certainly made a bunch of changes only to find out they've completely dorked up the program, and then find out they can't get it back to the way it was before when it worked. If you have version control it's trivial to retrieve the version that worked. But I guess it's pretty hard to convince someone of it's virtues until they've used it and seen the light... but if you're willing to trust some of us here, try it out and sooner or later you'll see what we mean!
