Re: [Orgmode] Windows and emacs
Thanx to all those hints given here - very much appreciated! As of yet I am not quite sure which way to go, since I still have a some time I'll let it broil a little in my skull ... :-) Thank you again ... :-) ray ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Windows and emacs
The third way, and the way I do it, is to run a Linux inside Windows. I dropped cygwin on my pc at work and use andLinux now (http://andlinux.org), which is running a linux kernel in a Win32 process (as a service in background). X applications are exported to a local W32 XServer. This is much faster than X apps compiled for cygwin. You'll have clipboard sharing between the Linux and W32 windows, too.

Re: [Orgmode] Windows and emacs
Ray, I'd agree with Mike and Scot's recommendation to use EmacsW32 for all the reasons they mentioned. I'd also recommend downloading cygwin. Current versions of EmacsW32 pick up the cygwin installation pretty easily and you really need it for command line tools like grep, ftp (for tramp) and git (for org-mode versioning); not to mention the command line itself. I've been using this setup for 3 or 4 years on various corporate laptops and it works very well.

[Orgmode] Windows and emacs
Hi guys, it may happen that I have to switch to Windows XP and since I have no idea how XP works (up to this point in time I only ran Linux machines) I thought to ask since I want to stick with org-mode: How do I get org-mode and emacs run best with XP? As far as I know there are at least two ways to get emacs running; one is to simply download emacs, two is downloading cygwin; if it is cygwin that I have to go with then which emacs?

This gives you recent snapshot of Emacs 23 (I use the patched version). I also recommend installing cygwin, and doing a little bit of work in getting emacs to use it (not difficult, but I can't remember the details). If you know linux, you are sure to find it useful. I don't suggest using a cygwin build of emacs (I think the native build will be easier to use). One advantage of having cygwin installed is that you can then use make to build you a new version of org. Hope this is helpful. -- Mike ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
