I use TortoiseSVN at work and on my Windows PC at home, and like how it
integrates with Windows Explorer.

On my linux PC I've selected SmartSVN, and like it. One advantage it
brings is the ability to view the entire working copy in one window. You
can see files that have changed in all subdirectories.

I agree. I want to store my work, be able to get the latest revision,
and go back to previous revisions if I need to. I don't need statistics.
