I've been looking for a good versioning filesystem for ages, zfs, etc etc...

this sounds interesting, I'll check it out and report back..

any distro's have this built in or apt-gettable? Time is limited at the moment.

Since everybody seems to be having fun building new filesystems these
days, I thought I should join the party.  Tux3 is the spiritual and
moral successor of Tux2, the most famous filesystem that was never
released.[1]  In the ten years since Tux2 was prototyped on Linux
2.2.13 we have all learned a thing or two about filesystem design. Tux3
is a write anywhere, atomic commit, btree based versioning filesystem. 
As part of this work, the venerable HTree design used in Ext3 and
Lustre is getting a rev to better support NFS and possibly become more
efficient.
