Yes, absolutely. Going down the cygwin path is doable, but it is a path of pain. I strongly recommend using a Linux host. (I personally use Ubuntu, but you should have good success with any disto. Use what you're most comfortable with). The simplest approach to get running with a Linux box is to install either VirtualBox or VMware and create yourself a Linux virtual machine. That will get you up and running without having to obtain new hardware or risk breaking your XP setup. Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
