looking for WAN source control system

What source control systems are people using for distributed (WAN) dev teams
?

I've seen quite a few people say that VSS is buggy and gets corrupted
easily.. is that true still ?

Thanks

yes for VSS (may be better with next version and webservice support). its
hard to trust a product whose readme recommends against using its features
(branching).

the most popular source control tool is probably cvs see
(http://sourceforge.net)

Thanks Bruce, I'll take more of a look at CVS, but from initial glance, you
get what you pay for in terms of functinoality.
