I still use CSSC (SCCS work-alike) for quick and dirty one-off tasks like writing a paper in .tex or a small program. It doesn't need a server and doesn't need configurin'. Just works and is so easy for the easy things :-)
It isn't in fedora but I got packages...

Somewhat surprisingly, git is actually really easy for the really easy things, particularly if you've configured it with your username already for other projects, and are only worried about making bad changes (rather than preserving the data from disks dying or an "rm -rf ."). You just need "git init" the first time and "git add .; git commit" whenever you want to keep a state. You only need a server (or even filesystem storage outside of the directory) if you want to publicize your projects, and you only get anything complicated going on if you have parallel development.

RCS is in Fedora and in any other distribution. There is nothing more convenient for single files (like for instance /etc files). Just type:
ci -t- -l /etc/hosts
and start editing.

There are only three commands to learn (check-in, check-out and rcsdiff) and they are just the very same operations that sit at the core of every other VC.
It is worth it is because RCS is available in every single Linux distribution: even the oldest ones, even the most stripped-down ones. (Remember that I was answering to someone carrying his CSSC packages around).
