Cygwin’s “base” doesn’t use the same philosophy as the Linux distros you list. It’s closer to the base install of the major BSDs, or an old-line Unix. That is, you get just enough stuff to help you bootstrap whatever you actually need to get work done. -- 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
