Is there a good free or open source CVS system out there?

I plan on having some developers that will not be in the same location working on code. Is there a colaboration tool out there that can track code like a CVS system or help me bring my team together over the internet?

DotProject I have used and it does work pretty good (using it instead of Trac since Trac has a lot of specific requirements that make it difficult to deploy on systems that you don't have root to.) Trac on the other had is basically an all-in-one solution (it even has subversion intergration).
All the software I've listed here is completely open source and of course the freedom to use them. :)

For a CVS replacement/solution I hightly recommend Subversion along with using TortoiseSVN Win32 Explorer Shell application it has made my life far easier just by making sure I have the latest version of the project across multiple computers on my LAN and working with team members it also helps a lot there too. As for web-based team work project management there is DotProject and Trac.DotProject I have used and it does work pretty good (using it instead of Trac since Trac has a lot of specific requirements that make it difficult to deploy on systems that you don't have root to.)

I love subcommander actually. To me it had the best GUI

TortoiseSVN is the best thing for getting artists using source control effectively. The built-in image viewer/diff support in the later versions is also a nice addition.

But yeah. Subversion is where it's at. Read the SVN Red Book.
Actually I'm also a closet pointyclikky SVN user inside XCode. It's mechanism for handling version control is pathetic, but if you're using a repository adressed with file:///, you'd never know. If you're using DAV, anticipate XCode filling up your weblogs.

Personally, I really like subversion, and the svn command-line :-)But yeah. Subversion is where it's at. Read the SVN Red Book.

You know it doesn't really truly matter since I find a way to crash my svn atleast once a week. :( I really need to read up on it.
