Personally I was never over impressed with Cygwin, but I find Virtualbox very impressive. FWIW, a Google on Cywin brings up 4.8 million hits. On VirtualBox 4.2 million hits. Considering Cywin was released in 1995 and VirtualBox in 2007, it would suggest to me its a more popular tool today. dave -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
