The best resource for CVS is the CVS Book: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/

The important technical bits on getting started with CVS and how to use 
it for everyday development are available in the free (online) version 
at that site.  The full (print) version has other information including 
best practices and managing large trees and other esoteric stuff.

It really is a great book and worth buying.  Reminds me, I need to stop 
borrowing Brian's at work and get my own.  =)
