Advantages and Disadvantages of CVSNT

[Mathias Meyer]

Hi everybody,

I would like to know any disadvanteges or advantages of CVS running 
with the ntserver-method on a win2000 box.
The admin in my compony does not really want to run it on Linux because 
of backup problems (he uses Seagate Backup Exec with that cool Agent 
Software) and because of the fact, that users can be authenticated 
against our local NT-domain. I think, that that can't be killing 
arguments, that CVS must run with Win2k. I've read in the archives of 
this mailing list, that authentication against a Primary Domain 
Controller can be done with PAM, so that won't be the point to deal 
with.
So I'd like to know, if there are arguments, that make Linux the better 
choice. Linux itself can't be the argument, because how should you 
convince someone to use Linux, who first is convinced to a point but 
uses WinNT/2k whereever he can, because backup is easier? ;))

If anyone has had experience with such an environment, I'd be thankful, 
if he'd share it with me.

Thanks in advance and best regards from germany.
