OK, as long as you've noticed the important bit of the description: the
bit that says "Cygwin/XFree86 is an X server for Windows. It enables you
to open up a graphical login session to your Linux-Mandrake box". I say
this only because you didn't quote that part and I want to make sure that
you realise what the package does (enables Windows users to try out
Mandrake with minimal effort) before rejecting it.
