You should at least look at the open source fossil VCS www.fossil-scm.org it can work as both DVCS and a client server VCS.

• Simple to install, a single executable.
• Simple to backup, it is a single SQLLITE repository.

Right now it does not have a GUI interface, but I am sure there will be one sometime in the future.

If you play around with fossil you will find that using command line VCS is not as complicated as it might seem.
