You will need to use CVSNT on Ubuntu - CVSNT repositories are not
compatible with CVS 1.11/1.12.
The correct newsgroup for CVSNT is:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt
Can Ubuntu use the RH9 RPM's? If so just download the RPM marked as for
RHEL4 - it's actually built on RH9.

I did some searching and found some people were using this command to
change a file marked as text to binary in CVS:
cvs admin -kb [file name]
cvs update -A [file name]
Of course the commands above were used to fix the problem when users
accidentally added a binary file as a text file while using the same
repository and CVS server. My case is different, I moved my CVSNT
repository to my Ubuntu Server running CVS 1.12.13 and all my binary
files somehow ended up marked as text files after the first initial
checkout.
I am sticking with the CVS server I currently have installed on Ubuntu
(Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13). Does anybody see any
potential problems with using this method to fix my problem?
I know you mentioned that CVSNT repositories are not compatible with CVS
1.11/1.12. Can you elaborate on that? I was able to check out the my
CVSNT repository once I moved it over to my CVS 1.12.13 Ubuntu Server
without a problem except for the binary/text issue I mentioned. Is
there anything else thats not compatible or will be an issue for me?
