If I kept a logbook file, I'd do it using vi. Your favorite text
editor should be more than adequate for this. (Though my Debian
machines tend to be pretty close to stock; the only software on my
laptop that's not either from a Debian package or in $HOME is an X
server in /usr/local.)

Install the rcs package, then read rcsintro(1). (Again, though, this
is something I don't generally do, though I understand why it's Good
Practice (TM). I do use version control for my Emacs dotfiles, if
that makes things better.)
