Be aware of CR/LF issues.

WinCVS is not a client. It is a GUI frontend, in turn it uses the 
cvs.exe executable. AFAIK Cervisia is one of the most used GUI frontend 
under Linux, although a lot of Linux developer uses the command line 
tool or CVS integration within IDEs like Eclipse.

Any supported protocol.

Yes. But you will lose the advanced features of CVSNT. I suggest to 
install CVSNT under Linux too.

If you use Eclipse or the standard cvs client you can tune the 
compatibility features. Nothing is required if you use CVSNT.
