I want to manage updates and changes to scripts and web apps that I am working on. I like the ability to roll back, and track changes. The idea, I guess, would be to have the repository on my Linux box, and be able to access that from my iBook and Desktop. So, yeah, both, distribte and get something.
CVS also seems like a good place to store some config files, as I tend to fuck with shit too often and forget to make backups :/
