I am managing the source code for a commercial project, which is moving from
a high priced SCM product to cvs.  I am relatively new to cvs, and I
mistakenly thought that cnsnt was a Windows only product, and cvs was a
non-windows only product...I have been set straight.  I played with cvsnt on
windows with only limited success.  The server hung often.  This may have
been due to an under-resourced PC, so I hesitate to blame cvsnt.  I prefer
the Linux environment, and look forward to testing cvsnt there.  Our
developers have windows workstations, and use Eclipse, and have the option
of also using WinCVS and/or TortoiseCVS.  I plan to use WinCVS, especially
if we go with cvsnt for our server (on Linux).  With this info, I have a
couple questions. 
 
1.  Can someone give me an honest summary of the advantages/disadvantages of
cvsnt over cvs (or point me to a link).
 
2.  I assume Eclipse and Tortoise are designed for standard cvs note cvsnt.
What problems will I experience if  the developers are using these
interfaces to access cvsnt?  Will it cause problems, or will they just lose
some functionality?  What functionality will they lose (if not answered in
first question).
 
Thanks in advance
