If you are on Linux there are many freely available VCS.
Many of these are quite powerful but for most users, most of the
time you only ues two commands - check-in and check-out. Once
you know those its very easy. eg In RCS those were just 'ci'
and 'co' respectively.
If you use a 'professional' grade editor such as Eclipse, emacs, vim etc
they have version control built in and once configured with the actual
tool you use its just a menu operation.
Once happy with a simple VCS style of working you can expand into bigger
release management tools. Here you will find a few 'big guns'
in the open source world but also many commercial offerings, some
costing 10,000 dollars or more! (eg Clearcase, Aide de Camp,
Continuus etc)
