I prefer to edit and syntax check on FreeBSD using vim, avr-gcc and 
avr-libc. And manage my code with CVS. When its time to run the 
debugger all I have is the USB mkII JTAG which currently requires AVR 
Studio. May be non-mkII compatible with RS-232 but a little birdie 
suggests otherwise.

CVSnt is perfect for keeping my sources in sync on both hosts. CVS 
fixes the line endings. I use the exact same Makefile on both hosts. 
The Makefile is also under CVS.

GUI CVS tools (Tortoise and WinCVS, I believe) I tried fell flat on 
their face under Windows. I don't know why. I don't care enough to 
pursue it. The command line CVSnt works and thats what I'm used to 
anyhow.

I use PuTTY.exe on the XP Pro machine to reach the FreeBSD machine. 
Have the DSA public/private keys configured w/o password. CVSnt tunnels 
thru ssh using the PuTTY tools.

Had a bad enough time getting the mkII to speak USB. Learned tonight 
one of the two mkII's I had purchased is bad as the one works exactly 
where the other does not. Doesn't matter if I use USB or RS-232, one 
unit only half works. Will deal with Digi-Key and/or Atmel on Monday.
