Choppy, I burned a CD a month or so back that had the latest Cygwin stuff on it. I can do it again for you. _Just_ got my DSL going with my Ebay acquired 16port hub, so I'll download the entire thing and burn it to CD for you. I will be doing the CCCC Linux SIG meeting on Monday at 6pm if you want it, or I can leave it there somewhere.
Cygwin is definitely nice for learning Linux/UNIX stuff. I even got PostgreSQL running on it, with the help of a work colleague. You can also run Apache, do SSH stuff, etc, etc. Very cool, lotsa fun!
