Yes, no problem. We use several repositories on AIX and Linux machines that
are accessed from *nix clients using the command line as well as from
Windows clients using WinCVS.
The only thing you have to be cautious of is that you check out the files
on the platform where you want to use them (i.e. don't check out a working
copy on Unix and access it from the Windows side via Samba etc. and vice
versa) as you will get into trouble with line endings in text files if you
miss that. But that's no CVS magic, it's just a difference between these OS
worlds.
Best regards
Martin
