Thanks. Do you all agree that Mercurial is the way to go, or is there=
another "distributed version control system" that I should shortl= ist?

There are huge arguments all over the = net on this topic. Having extensively used the top two contenders (Git and = Mercurial) I would strongly advise you to use Mercurial.

What it comes down to for me is that Mercurial usage fi= ts in my head and I rarely have to go to the docs, whereas with Git I have = to constantly go to the docs for anything but the most trivial usage - even= when it's something I've done many times before. I'm always af= raid that I'm going to do something *wrong* in Git.
