Subversion
If you haven't tried Subversion yet, you really owe it to yourself to give it a try. I've used CVS for over a decade now and I've been trying Subversion for a little less than a year. I haven't yet moved most of my home projects to Subversion, but it's looking more probable every day.
The ability to rename and reorganize your files and directories without losing history is wonderful. The separation of status from update is great. I'm slowly coming to appreciate the properties system. It's really great to have a mime-type associated with each file and all the potential that goes along with that.
If you want to get started with Subversion, you can download a version at the URL above. You'll also want to read Version Control with Subversion, which is available on-line or in hard copy.
