One way to make a windows PC at least 'a bit' useable. I have not found a better way so far. With Cygwin I can now run KDE on a windows machine, use xterms and scp/ssh to go to *real* servers and workstations. Cygwin might be far from perfect, but at least it is a *free* way to make an unuseable machine useable. -- H.Merijn Brand Amsterdam Perl Mongers (http://amsterdam.pm.org/) using & porting perl 5.6.2, 5.8.x, 5.9.x on HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, & 11.23, SuSE 10.0 & 10.1, AIX 4.3 & 5.2, and Cygwin. http://qa.perl.org http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/
