Anyone use Cygwin under W2K3 ?...

I just do the install and search any tutorials about the setting up !?... Any ideas!...

We use cygwin on all of our Windows 2003 servers. It works very well, almost as good as the real thing.

All you need to do is run the setup.exe program, choose your mirror sites, and then select which tools/programs you want installed. That is it. For updates, just run the setup program again and follow the same procedure.

Cygwin is solely command-line based, except for the setup program. So to use it, you are supposed to be familiar with the Unix command tools.

Whitout mirror site, I can't use Cygwin, rights !?... Thanks.

The setup program includes a long list of mirror sites. You can choose any one of them. For this reason, it is usually best to download the latest setup program to make sure the list is updated. Once you finished installation, the binaries will be downloaded to your server, and the mirror site is not needed anymore.

Also done, where could I find the command line instructions to setting up aft the install...

I don't remember if there is any docs included (we certainly did not install any docs). Once installed, there should be a Cygwin short-cut icon on your desktop. That is your bash CLI. Click on it and you will get the familiar bash command prompt. By default, cygwin is installed under c:cygwin, and your drives will be under /cygdrive/c, /cygdrive/d, etc. (relative to where cygwin is installed).

If you need more documentations, it may be a good idea to visit the Cygwin site http://www.cygwin.com/ (which is where you should get the latest setup program).

Thanks for all...
