Some of you may have seen this article from Info World but I thought I'd highlight a portion that seemed relevant to this list:
One last note on the subject of Windows: Linux and *BSD users enjoy a great set of powerful utilities and commands for free -- but what happens when Linux and *BSD users get stuck working on a Windows computer? Why, look no further than Cygwin. A port of the Unix POSIX system calls to the Win32 environment, Cygwin allows you to run the GNU Compiler Collection and many GNU utilities on a Windows machine. It's easy to get caught up in the bugs and issues that fly around this list and forget about what impact Cygwin as a distribution has for its user base. So I thought it would be good to take a moment to focus on that for a change. What you're all doing is making a difference out there and people notice. :-) If you're interested in looking at the rest of the article, you can find it here: <http://infoworld.com/print/87776> -- Larry -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
