I'm sorry to break it to you, but the Debian GNU/win32 system is not available yet, and won't be for some time. The following things need to happen still: 1-we finish building a Debian base system on cygwin 2-the port is accepted officially in Debian. 3-we build the complete archive for Sid and create install/uninstallation method 4-the port is accepted as a valid candidate for Debian release (and packages start to feed testing) 5-the port is released (and a stable release appears) If you don't care of being in the bleeding edge, step 1 would be enough for you to build your own packages as long as they don't have lots of broken dependencies. When you need to have a more complete system to build your stuff, step 2 is necessary. Also some help would be appreciated.
