We have a directory full of installation and configuration scripts that are updated on a fairly regular basis. I would like to implement some sort of version control for these files. I have used SVN and CVS in the past, but I thought I'd ask if anyone can recommend a simple, easy-to-use tool that would be better than cvs or subversion for this fairly simple setup.

It doesn't get much simpler. Otherwise, I'd use SVN.

If it never gets off the machine then there is RCS. If those aren't simple enough... I don't think any of the others are going to help. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!

Takes no more than 5 minutes to learn, plus maybe 15 minutes to learn how to setup your own SVN server. Cheers, Niki
