$ uname -s CYGWIN_NT-5.0 $ uname -o Cygwin
Oh, the irony!
Cygwin was created by Cygnus, whose name was chosen for the main virtue of having the letters G N and U in it, in order ...
Cygnus were basically the first business to specialise in suporting free software ...
Cygwin's official name is "GNU + Cygnus + Windows" ... :-)
