I liked reading the Hg Init: Mercurial tutorial . It has a chapter called Subversion Re-education that can be read in your situation.

There is also a Mercurial client called TortoiseHg , which is similar to TortoiseSVN. You might also want to check out Bitbucket . I used it in several school projects, and it's pretty cheap, and even with a free plan, you get one private repository.

Mercurial Content : The Ultimate Guide is available online for free.

The big advantage of Mercurial (and distributed systems in general) is that you don’t need to be online to get the job done. Your repositories are local, and your working copies are full copies with the whole history, so there is no need to go back and forth, for example, Subversion.
