New to CVS

So I want to manage my projects with a CVS system. I have Linux server on the web with all the normal tools. Is there something you can suggest that is EASY to setup and maintaine?

Most linux distro's already have cvs installed.
setup is as easy as creating a repository.

if you want to have exterior network access to your cvs you probably want to use ssh login.
otherwise you can just use a pserver login method.

Edit:
fixed mega typo.

If this one does not then what should I use? The server is meant for webshosting so it may not have that in there.

Hmm, Im pretty sure it would :)
what distro is it?

type cvs at the command prompt if you can.

Edit:

here are a couple links for cvs and svn (svn is another choice again probably installed already)

Ok, well poke around but there above are a couple links to get you going.

either way it's fairly trivial to get up and running.

maintenance is fairly simple generally none is required unless you need to clean up your repository and such.
