I never could get Cygwin to display terminal colors in a consistent way. You'd probably find it easier to install OSX on your laptop!
One thing you could do is try and run an XTerm in cygwin perhaps using a minimal window manager like ratpoison. This was the best I was able to manage in getting a decent terminal on windows (Cygwin Ratpoison and Screen), but in the end I gave up it was just to hard :) and inconsistent. 2009/1/22 James Byrne <li...@ruby-forum.com> > I develop in a heterogeneous environment.
