CVSNT runs on most platforms (CVSNT is NoT CVS) including unix/linux.
There is even a standard debian package.

Under no circumstances ever should the RCS files be manually edited (for
CVS or CVSNT).

By removing information from the RCS file you are simply removing
information from your repository history - that information was valuable
and cannot be replaced.
