Version Control Advice

I've been following the "First Project Advice" thread, and it got me
thinking about a VCS system. I'm a one man shop, and had always thought of
a VCS as overkill - all that checking in and checking out. Now I've come
across a situation where a VCS would have been invaluable (I started working
on V2 of my app, breaking V1 database compatibility in the process. The
plan was to get the V2 up and running fairly quickly, at least with the same
feature set, import all of the V1 data and replace all V1 clients - it
didn't go to plan. Then the users needed some minor additions to V1, and I
couldn't provide them - they need to wait till V2 is released - bad, bad,
bad, bad).

My problem is that I work from home, and a remote office. What's the best
way to store the source code? I can set up a server at one of the
locations, to act as a source code repository, or I can keep the repository
on some kind of removable drive that I drag around with me (is that even
feasible?). Right now, as I'm not using a VCS (although I do have AJC
Active Backup installed which has proven invaluable), I copy my changed
files to/from a USB stick when I move between locations.

I was thinking of using the free single developer license for Evolution, but
will that work from two sites? (I'm not sure how they define a single user).
Otherwise, what would others recommend as a solution for a single developer,
needing access to code from two locations.

Thanks
