well, I downloaded it, I'll install it tomorrow, and give it a try,
thanks!

You downloaded "it?" Cygwin? It's just like a Linux distribution insofar
as it comprises a great many packages totaling hundreds of megabytes of
tarballs formatted for the Cygwin installer (which is what I suspect
your downloaded, from the main page of cygwin.com).

If you did just download the installer, beware that you've got a big
download ahead (which must be preceded by package selection, unless
you're willing to just go for the whole huge set of packages).

Cygwin is quite good and the only way to make Windows usable to those of
the Unix / Linux ilk such as myself. I immediately install it on every
Windows computer I must use on an ongoing basis.
