Cygwin - a Unix Environment and Shell on Windows
If your daily routine means that you spend much of your time behind a Windows system, yet you love the power and flexibility of a Unix-based environment, it might be frustrating not to have access to the tools and environment that you want.
Alternatively, you might want to compile some Linux/Unix software, so that it can run natively under Windows.
Cygwin is a Linux-style environment for Windows, that gives you a set of libraries, a full Linux-style command line and a package manager so you can install many of the Unix programs you might be familiar with.
I thought I would take a look at Cygwin’s latest release and show you how to install it and get up and running.
