Hiya Amy,
	 I did all my original exploration about two years ago so I am
having to relearn a lot of the technical nuances as I tackle this for a new
company.  Back then, however, (and where I am starting from this time
through...) I found Tortoise SVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/) to be very
feature-rich and relatively simple for new-to-change-control users to adapt
to.  From what I recall, I believe Tortoise is just a GUI for Subversion
(SVN: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/).  

I committed to evaluating at least four other products, so I'm
procrastinating on installing / testing the following as well...

RapidSVN (http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/)
A Simple Version Control System (http://asvcs.com/index.php) 
DocSys Document Management System (http://docsys.sourceforge.net/) 
MyDMS (http://mydms.sourceforge.net/)


Hope this helps...
Have fun  :)

SvF

Hi Steven,

We're currently struggling with our CMS (long story; it was purchased before
my team got here and it's what we have so we're working with it), and I'd be
interested in more information about these open-source versioning and
change-control solutions - could you forward some product names or websites
that I could check out for more details?

Thanks!
Amy Dohlman
