IMHO, not until the Release Engineering team announces 5.X-STABLE.

My personal opinion is that newcomers to FreeBSD should definitely start
with a 4.X version.

Yes.  Setting up a bare bones CVS server is easy.  A lot of articles are
available online.  Some links that will get you started are:

http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/
http://www.loria.fr/cgi-bin/molli/wilma.cgi/doc

and of course, the CVS homepage:

http://cvshome.org/

PS: Please set your mailer up so that it doesn't send HTML email to the
FreeBSD lists.  It's a complete waste of bandwidth.  Plain ASCII email
is sufficient most of the time.

Now the questions:

If all you are going to use the machine for is a CVS server, then it 
doesn't matter what version you use. If 5.2.1 doesn't have any issues 
with the hardware you are going to run it on, then I'd use it. Remember, 
5.3-RELEASE is just around the corner (about a month) and it is 
scheduled to become -STABLE.

-  Is there any article related to the setup of a CVS server
with FreeBSD?
Google has several:

freeBSD for a CVS server

[Martin Gagnon]

Hello,
I'm not a FreeBSD user yet, neither am I a Linux user.  Most of my job
consists in developing systems for the QNX RTP.
I'm currently in the process of setting up a CVS server for 15-20 users
and I'm now at choosing an OS for it. The article posted at:
http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/bsd4linux/bsd4linux1.php
 
gave me a good feeling about the design philosophy and goals that
FreeBSD pursue.  And the HUGE amount of documentation available on your
website made me feel comfortable... So I think I'll go with it.
Now the questions:
-  Which version should I go with? Should I use 4.10 "Production
Release"? Is the 5.2.1 "New Technology Release" suitable for a
production server?
-  Is there any article related to the setup of a CVS server
with FreeBSD?
