To ensure the highest reliability ensure sure you download the CVSNT for Linux binaries rather than the old CVS ones that may have come with your Linux distro. What this means is: 1) You need the CVSNT binary on the Linux box in the same way as Tortoise needs the CVSNT binary on Windows to operate. Tortoise and WinCvs are just GUI frontends to the CVSNT command line binary. 2) Since there are no "neat" GUI style front-ends to CVS(NT) on Linux your users must resort to using the command line directly. There exists a Linux version of WinCvs called gCvs, that I have never seen myself but it is part of the CVSGui project at SourceForge. Apparently it is at least for some working in approximately the same way as WinCvs on Windows. HTH /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
