CVS, subversion etc

We're about to start development on a project with 4 developers working on bits of the system. It'll all be PHP with some Javascript, CSS in support.

We have a Linux box as a central file server, 3 Linux clients and 1 Windows client - all on a simple LAN.

We clearly need some version control and have been playing we CVS running the CVS server on the Linux fileserver.

However, although we can get bits of it working with the command line on the Linux clients, and other bits working using WinCVS on the windows machine, it's not reliable.

Has anyone gone thru the same pain and succesfully set up CVS / Subversion? Is there any good online tutorial I can find somewhere to help me?

We're getting Zend Studio as our IDE which has a CVS client so that side should be OK.

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers,

Zend has subversion support too.
Why do you say it is not reliable? What is wrong?

Thanks jmut. We went for subversion and it's all working great now. Got Tortoise for windows and eSvn for the linux boxes.

Cheers,

David
