The canonic reference is the so-called 'cederqvist' document (named for
its author):
 http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual gets you the links.

I just set up a CVS server for MsWin and Linux clients on a Linux host
(but didn't set up ssh access yet), and find it the best resource: it is
organized for a CVS administrator, and beginning users will need to wade a
bit to find their steps laid out concisely. The 'info' package on CVS is
derived directly from the 'cederqvist' (automatically generated, I think),
and it works a bit better for those users due to its inbuilt indexing (or
at least it did for me when I started out). If your users have a
comfortable 'info' browser, I would recommend it.

There is also good information for users at http://www.wincvs.org - much
of it aimed at WinCvs GUI users, but well organized and attractive. GUI's
exist for KDE ('Cervisia') and Gnome (don't remember - see the WinCVS home
page) desktops - my experience is mostly with command-line use from Linux
and MsWin, so if there are FreeBSD tricks to know, I don't. Naturally
there's a Tk/Tcl front-end, but I haven't used it. 'emacs' for the
hard-core.
