Yup, the debian-cygwin project. I'm a big fan of cygwin and have been
playing with it for about a year. Tried to configure Mutt once to use the
same mbox on both w32 and linux in a w32 partition, but got sidetracked. I
get and keep too much email... :P

I'm also interested in seeing Jabber run under cygwin
(http://mailman.jabber.org/pipermail/jdev/2001-October/008897.html), as that
would increase the usage of Jabber (http://www.jabber.org).

Bandwith is not as good as expected.  I have a cable modem at home and a T1 
at work and it works good enough.  I have run staroffice but it was very 
slow.

I haven't tried to compile any package manager yet into cygwin, although it 
would be a cool addition.

Is this where you got your info on building dpkg?

Very cool!

I'd like to try setting something up like this to get to my home machine
from work. What kind of performance do you get? What's your bandwidth
between the two machines?

Also, have you tried compiling dpkg under Cygwin? I started the steps last
night at work, but ran out of time.

I didn't realize that you were interested in this John.  At the meeting
monday I had my laptop with me and it had cygwin/Xfree86 up and running on
it.

Check it out, I'm using cygwin on win98 to ssh to a server and using X11
forwarding to run programs locally. Here I'm monitoring the system using
gtop.
