Re: md5sum using Cygwin in Windows

Hi Ben, There's a full user guide available on the Cygwin site that you may find useful: http://cygwin.com/docs.html This should offer much more detail than "help cd". There's also a quick-start guide: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ov-ex-win.html Thanks, Phil -- Phil Bull http://www.launc

"Wow! Zing!" ??? Hum ... I would think a simple "yes, understanding Unix/Linux before dealing with Cygwin" would have been a bit more professional .. or, probably more to the point, encouraging one to pursue learning Unix/Linux. Regarding his comment of Ubuntu being "newbie-friendly", I liv

Re: Fwd: md5sum using Cygwin in Windows
