I use Bazaar, mostly from the command line.  That's comfortable for me.
There is a TortoiseBZR for people on Windows.  Also there is Olive which
is a GTK+ interface on Linux.  I do use the command "bzr visualize"
quite a bit which is part of the bzr-gtk package -- it shows you a
graphical representation of all the merges on the branch.

Here's a Bazaar user guide:

And if you just want to play with it, create a branch from a project on
Launchpad.

  bzr branch lp:inkscape

That'll give you a copy of our SVN tree in Bazaar.  You can then publish
your branch for others:

  bzr push lp:~your-lp-login/inkscape/mybranch

All you need is a Launchpad account, which only requires an e-mail
address.
