    How many of you are using VSS as version control s/w? Is there anything better than VSS? Any free ones available?

    More like is there anything WORSE than VSS? I don't know of ANY developers that like VSS: it corrupts databases silently and is flaky at best.

    I would suggest Subversion if you want free, otherwise it depends on how much you are willing to spend :).

    I like to use subversion whenever possible but that's not always the case. A current project I have a hand in uses CVS but it is a project goal to switch over to subversion as it's got to a point where svn makes sense.

    Speaking of remote repositories... does anyone here use hosted repositories and if so, who do you use?

    I'm trying to find a decent one so that I can do some joint development, without having to set up a repository on my own machine (and punch holes through the firewall and so on).

    Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions for source control servers that can be used on a normal, HTTP host?

    Is subversion fully functional. When I checked the documentation it says

    "The support for running svnserve as a Windows service is complete,
    but there is still more work to be done for installing and managing
    services."

    thanks a lot in advance

    Absolutely it is. I don't know about the services in Windows bit, but I daresay that that's just saying that you would need to tweak it a little to run as a service (you can probably run it as a normal application, though, too).

    Link please? I looked at bitkeeper.com and the closest thing I could find was the free client only :(
