Hi! I think there is not much decide about SourceSafe yes or no. MS SourceSafe is old, not maintained by Microsoft any more (they are about to develop a replacement as far as I have heard), the use locking instead of concurrency, etc. etc.
No, really, you'd better decide between: - CVS (https://www.cvshome.org/) - CVSNT (http://www.cvsnt.com/cvspro/ - http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/) - Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) You should ask yourself: - Do I want several developers to be able to work on the same sources at the same time? (all of them do this, MSSS does not) - Do I want to be able to do check-in/check-out over HTTP/HTTPS? (I think, for this Subversion would be the best choice) - Do I want my developers to have clients available on any platform? (I would say then the ranking might be somewhat like: 1. CVSNT/CVS, 2. Subversion, 3. MSSS) (Note: CVSNT is _not_ for Windows NT only, more than that it is a somewhat more advanced CVS system, available on almost all platforms, as is CVS.)

I have to make a decision between CVS and Visual SourceSafe.. What are advantages and disadvantages over each other program?? And which one is better for stability?
