Unfortunately it's not written by someone very familiar with Cygwin. First these's this incorrect statement in the introduction: "Cygwin does not enable your computer to understand UNIX signals, pseudo-terminals (PTYs) and such; it only provides mappings of UNIX actions to the Windows platform." Perhaps he meant to say "it does not enable normal windows applications to use signals and PTYs" but Cygwin most certainly supports them for anything ported or compiled as a Cygwin app. Then later on he advises on how to setup ssh manually, instead of just running ssh-host-config which takes care of everything in one step.
