        This one is UNIX emulation built for Windows.

Yes, the tools are often available, though the quality or usefulness
can vary.  (I know -- my first year at this job I had to use windows,
so I installed cygwin and kde 1.1.2 (twm is worse) and used that.  In
many ways it wasn't as good as a real unix system, but it was the best
I had then)  Still, the usage style is still UNIX :-).  Most Windows
people look for all-in-one programs (IDEs and such) and tend not to
plug-n-play with combinations of tools.

Great!  :-).  (I like debian as well)


Oh, btw, the .sig is randomly generated automatically.  Just for one
more remark -- typical UNIX design in software (examples like mutt or
tin) is for the user to specify a program to run which will provide,
via the pipe interface, and delegate the actual generation to a
dedicated program.  This sort of design and thinking is what I meant
by "UNIX" is the development tool.  (that or you develop on unix and
test everywhere, which is pretty much what I did with the wxPython
school project I mentioned earlier that was tested (and ran) on Debian
and Win2k)
