Assuming that you have CVS installed on your Linux machine, you can do

  cvs -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs co src

For a list of other CVS servers, and usage examples, see

Chuck Swiger's post caused me to relook at mine. There are .inf files in
the mix which will cause tar a bit of heartache above. This would be
better:

% cat scontrib.[ab]* | tar -xvzf -

Tarballs.

Grab ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.3-RELEASE/src/
then to get the files out of, say, scontrib, do something like this:

% cat scontrib.* | tar -xvzf -

They are a .tgz split up into pieces (via split).  You can reassemble  
via:


  cat generic.a* | tar zxf -

...but some people find using CVS/cvsup easier.
