VCS could be as flexible as you make it. From local file-based repositories to
distributed networked storage with master/slave failovers.
Or as rigid, as you need it. I.e. commit hooks.

If all you need is a local VCS, check Subversion. http://svnbook.org/
The "SVN book" will get you started in no time. And cover the essential basics
that will remain valuable even if you later need to switch to some other VCS.
