So i've been using subversion for years at my various jobs and have found it indispensable. So i rightly thought, "how come i'm not just using this at home on my small projects and playground apps?"
It was time to fix this scenario and install SVN server on my home server (which is fine as it has a static internet IP and backup, so it's quite usable).
By far the simplest and most usable option i found for installing SVN server on windows is VisualSVN Server.
It was installed, and with its simple GUI, users created in groups and assigned to new repositories in under 5mins! It even has a secure apache rolled in for websvn that you can easily configure to a non-standard port.
There is really no excuse anymore for not giving yourself all the luxuries that SVN affords you.

i setup work svn with cvsdude and have had problems with it running really slow... almost unbearable at times
