cvshome is good

(covers the same material)

I guess you will need to get a windows CVS client - I don't know 
anything about these except that they exist.

CVS most likey be installed on the Linux machine, if this is running ssh 
- you can use ssh to communicate easily and securely between the server 
and client.

read about setting up a repostitory - (for new or existing projects)

then just check out your CVS project - add, commit etc... :)

A lot of the documentation is about branches - leave this untill you are 
comfortable with the basics.

well that's a vague overview - the real documentation is good enough 
that there is little point me going into more detail here.
