You could point out that CVSNT works very well under Linux, and you can 
still use your new Linux box as the repository.  See:

http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationLinux

and this can help you move from Win32 to Linux repository (although the 
steps will be in reverse, naturally)

Another important note is that AFAIK Subversion doesn't support merging 
well ATM, which I use all the time (last I saw it supported it as the 
original CVS did, which CVSNT has improved greatly on).  You will in 
fact be losing some functionality moving to SVN.
