Subversion turns out to be a very powerful, yet simple tool. The Windows tool TortoiseSVN adds commands to windows explorer menus when you right-click on files or folders. These commands do everything from checking out a repository to committing changes made. It also provides an icon to indicate the status of files while in windows explorer.
The Ubuntu tool RapidSVN is a GUI that has all the same features Tortoise provides, but it's done through a GUI instead of explorer menus. Ubuntu also provides command line tools for maintaining an SVN repository.
Setting up a Subversion server was also quite simple. I used VisualSVN server to set up a simple SVN server on my Windows machine. After installing, it was simple to add a new repository, add a user, and connect to the repository using those new user credentials.
