TBH, I don't use CVS at all. I learned to use SVN first
and for the things I needed CVS was pretty similar to SVN
but pretty obnoxious when trying to check out the history
due to the lack of atomic commits.

I would prefer to just use the same SVN server for
everything.

OpenCVS is an intermediate step, at least acceptable
for GPL cleaning purposes, for people that just can't
move to SVN right away. Still SVN is much better and
once we move we will not look back (IMHO).

Pedro.
