I am working with the some text files on several different computers,
different OS (NT and Linux), some of them are firewalled, so CVS-Server
is not easily useable. For synchronizing the work, I am thinking to use
a CVS archive on FAT parttition on a USB Stick. Does someone have
experience with this? Is it possible to have the archive on a FAT
partition? What should I observe?

I've never done that, but I keep working copies/sandboxes on USB stick all
the time. Works well if you can delay commits until you can stick it into a
computer which /does/ have a connection to the repository.
(Or at least it works /reasonably/ well -- Linux tends to see the 'CVS'
directories as 'cvs' on vfat, and cvs complains a bit if/when you commit on
Linux.)
