CVS and His Tortoise

So far, for source code repository or simply called "source control", I only using Visual Sourcesafe. My new employer is not only using Microsoft Technologies, in fact our main product is written in Borland Delphi. How we manage the source code? If you guess that we copy to another folder, backup it or zip-it, you guess it correctly. Now, this is not KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) anymore, this is really-really-really stupid. We are in urgency to look for a source control. And we stumbled upon CVS and it's Windows client; Tortoise CVS.
If you're a Windows user using CVS, and you're currently not using Tortoise CVS, I suggest you better to look into it. It integrates nicely with your Windows Explorer, ease your job significantly. Currently they are in a 1.9.x release, but I'm using the 1.8.x version (as in x.y.z, if y is an even number, it's considered stable release). Check their website for more information (and download)
