If your server is Linux, then Subversion is the way - you can have a repository there, and use Tortoise client in Windows. Note that it's case sensitive, which may be a problem with Fox (which is known to play with the case of filenames in unpredictable ways). What I didn't like is that the client is not something you call up and work with it in a single window, but a shell extension, so you have to know your folders, rightclick on them and then it opens - and since you should be able to add new folders at will, it's about three lines in the rightclick popup on any folder anywhere on your machine, which I found annoying.

There's probably a different client for Subversion that would run under Windows - this is what I had to use on one project, and didn't like it. I rather prefer clients like SoS (Source off-site) or Vault.
