KDE's cervisia does a nice job of handling CVS, including graphical diffs,
invoking editors while calling edit/unedit, log view (including graphical
trees) and all sorts of stuff. it can be used as a standalone client or if
you use Konqueror as your file manager it integrates nicely with it (you just
browse to your working directory and click "CVS view". next time you browser
to that directory cervisia will automaticly take over).
If you're use Eclipse as an IDE and want to have all the CVS operations from
with in the environment then by all means use Eclipse, you'll find no better
tool (I use it that way myself), but if you just want to do some CVS
operations then I hardly think firing up the memory eating monster that is
Eclipse to be a very good idea.

KDE has some integration with Exchange (Kmail using IMAP), including calender
retreival and storage (Kalendar), address book lookups through LDAP
(Kaddressbook) and some simple integration with Kontact and KMail's new
groupware functionality. you'd need KDE 3.2 for that and that would mean
getting FC.

I use Winbind from Samba 3 and its very easy to get it to authenticate against
a Win2K PDC. I also suggest pam_mount which automatically mounts remote file
systems on login using the login password - we have a file server with some
often used shares and I find it very useful to have it automatically mounted.

I would like to suggest Mandrake which has a somewhat RedHatish feel but is
better in some areas that I found important (integeration with an almost all
windows office environment is one thing - for example, you can tell it during
installation that you want to authenticate logins against a windows domain
and it will just work).
