I want to learn a version control system?
This is aimed primarily at Scott but anyone else is welcome to chime in. I'm interested in learning to use a version control system but I don't wish to spend more than 1 night (approx. 4-5 hours) learning to use it.
I've installed CVS and SVN in the past but it took 2-3 nights of reading and googling to get the servers up and running and poking things into the server and such. At this point I barely remember what little I learned to get the systems up and running. I never really got past the "test it out" stage before throwing in the towel.
I have since reinstalled the server and would like to get a version control running again but I'd rather write code than spend hours learning a system and it's ins and outs.
Can anyone direct me to a guide or something? or am I simply beyond help?

Personally, I've been using Git, and I find it far superior to everything else out there. However, it is quite a different concept than the others, and you probably will not be able to utilize its awesomeness until you have more experience with version control.
