The department chair, Cathy House, had to create a separate LUG on campus
due to issues of politics and finances. 

While I appreciate your restraint on the   **rant**  you need to also understand the position
she is in dealing with administrative bureaucracies and cut a little slack.

As to your comments about Cygwin, yes all that is true, but again she is dealing with
a very mixed environment on campus that includes a lot of the Windoze folk. 

Cygwin IS a tool allowing a measure of interoperability from a M$ box to a *nix system
for certain limited types of activities.  On that basis, IMHO, it is a valid topic, of course
your mileage may vary.

Whoever wrote that is seriously confused. ;-)  Cygwin provides a
shell interpreter, libraries and all sorts of things.  None of
which are Linux.

*insert rant about too many LUGs for such a small town*
