RCS is the network-less version of CVS. You can use that in case of
paranoia. The CVS server can run ON YOUR OWN machine of course. You don't
need to run it on someone else's machine. In a normal environment it would
run on a server that serves all the developers on a project, on an
intranet. And it would be guarded like the proverbial crown jewels.
