If you have a tinybaud connection, I've been very happy with ctm.
However, I have 24x7 connectivity, so most of it comes to me in
otherwise unused bandwidth.  Since I have my mail setup to
automatically update my CVS tree (not my source tree), I always have
nearly up to the minute sources available.  CTM is a push model, and
CVSup is a pull model.  Which one you use is a matter of taste.

However, one thing is clear: You need about 1.5G of disk space to have
an effective development machine.  I have 2.25G on my machine, and
things get a little cramped when I try to do both OpenBSD things and
FreeBSD things at the same time.
