I'm on the Gentoo/CygWin mailing list; I'm probably responsible for whatever small interest in Gentoo running on CygWin there is in the user community :). I'd certainly use it if available, and I'd certain test it thoroughly. But it wouldn't be the end of civilzation as *I* know it if nobody worked on it; I spend a lot more time, at home anyway, with a *real* Gentoo environment, and it won't make any difference at all to the Red Hat (and Windows) bigots where I work.Does anyone have any information on what Gentoo/Cygwin is? Who is in charge of this, and is it really at the stage where we should be recruiting people to work on it? I'm *extremely* wary of the idea of this kind of thing being committed without prior discussion -- there's far more difference between anything we currently have and Cygwin than there is between osx or bsd and linux-gnu, and we know how much work those two are already...
CygWin is my "command line of choice" on the Windows systems at work. I haven't gone so far as to mount a CAPP (CygWin/Apache/Postgres/PHP) server with it, but I just might someday.
