Well, I set up CVS first and SVN later on at work on our debian linux 
server.

SVN is better, tortoise svn is a really good windows client and can be 
used without
a dedicated server, if you work an your own.
The main advantage of svn is, that you can rename files and directories 
(you will
need that sooner or later).
And it is much faster over a slow network link.

Well, if a version control system already exists, you will be forced to 
use it.

If it doesn't and your are lucky (e.g. in a small company), you can 
setup whatever
you like.

At work we use svn together with scarab as bug-tracker. Look at:

A good bug tracker is as important as a version control tool.
