For our example, I'll just call my directory cvsroot, and I'll put it in my home directory (the directory you're placed in when you login on a unix system). The absolute path for my root dir is '/home/cvstutorial/cvsroot'.
No matter where you place the directory, make sure the permissions allow you to create/remove/edit/list files within it (chmod < dirname > 755 is a safe bet on a *nix machine). If you're expecting other users to access this repository, you need to validate them as well; usually done via group settings on the file permission. Keep in mind that everyone who uses it needs read, write and execute permissions.
