CVS is very cool. You can use it from both windows and linux.
There are various scenarios when it comes in handy. Here's some:
sometimes you modify code to go in a particular direction and for one reason
or another it doesn't work out and you need to revert to the previous
version, with CVS a few clicks and you restore what was;
on complex systems when you have several programmers working on different
parts and someone has messed something up you can revert to previous
versions to find where the culprit is;
you can have more than one developer working on _different_ parts of the
same module and CVS will merge the differences; and
it's also great as a backup tool.
Best if the CVS is on a different machine from the dev one.
