There are two types of version control systems: centralized and  
distributed. CVS and Subversion are two of the most popular  
centralized options. Git and Arch are two of the most popular (I  
believe) distributed options. I have never used a distributed system  
so I cannot comment on that from first-hand experience, but because of  
the way I use a version control system (for web development, not  
software development), centralized works very well. I have used both  
CVS and SVN and prefer SVN.
