OK, let me clarify - I guess what I would really like is a Cygwin-specific *Unix* beginner's list. My desire is not to get rid of stupid questions, since I think all my questions are probably stupid, but rather the questions that are just over my head and make me feel like I will never be at that level.
What I want probably does not exist, since most people probably do not use Cygwin the way I do. I am using it as a way to learn Unix on my Windows machine without having to partition my hard drive and risk any of my Windows data. Maybe I should just join a Unix newbie list, any suggestions are appreciated.
