svn (subversion) is relatively easy to use and has both gui and cli frontends (windows maybe only gui). there is tortoise svn which integrates into explorer. cvs is mostly the same. The big difference is that with cvs commits are per file (if you made dependent changes on two different files the

It is impossible. When the kernel loads it first loads built in modules, then mounts file system later on init insert other modules. What you want is a module that can only be inserted by init or manually by modprob or insmod. In modern systems however, the device files are generated using udevd so
