Trying not to cheer too much (just a satisfied user), Cygwin is a complete *nix environment that runs as a Windows process. I love symbolic links, mounts, gcc, perl, awk and all the other tools -- especially the bash shell. And I run it on every PC I use -- office and home. At home I have sshd (secure shell daemon - part of OpenSSH which is included in Cygwin) and have no problems punching through any corporate firewall to not only access my home PC, but (with the help of TightVNC) bring up my home desktop remotely.
I like to think of Cygwin as a way of getting to me the most powerful open source tools on the planet while still letting me use all of the GUI tools I want when I have need for something more visual... http://www.cygwin.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >OK, I'll bite.
