Dave, it makes no sense to compare cygwin and virtualbox by Googlehits. Cygwin is just a tool to port Unix software to Windows quickly and relatively painlessly (at least the command-line software can usually be ported pretty quickly). Cygwin is also a toolchain to develop software on Windows

Gentoo has the ability to compile software in Microsoft's SUA. Maybe it could be useful to port sage. You can check out some docs herehttp://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/ . 2010/1/3 Dima Pasechnik dimp...@gmail.com Dave, it makes no sense to compare cygwin and virtualbox by
