SCM Recommendations?

[alisajid]

Basically, I'd like to convince the workplace loonies to stop using VSS. Its crappy: file sharing over SMB is what it tries to pass of as a multi-user system, no branching/merging of source trees, plus history gets lost on renames. Am I missing anything?

From what I can tell the tried and true CVS and Subversion would be two contenders. CVS doesn't do everything I would like to be able to sell it.

Any recommendations on SCM software (free) for a 10 developer environment?

I would second subversion, but I tried it and it's not as easy as it seems. I'm one of those crazy VSS guys and what I like about it is that it just works. We don't try to do any fancy branching/merging and what not. I just want something that will let me store code and allow me to do comparisons against previous versions. Being as I'm the only developer here, it makes sense.
I've wanted to use subversion, but just couldn't wrap my head around it. I tried the TortoiseSVN extension and it still didn't help. I followed the online help and I'm just not getting it. I'm too used to VSS to switch.
