If you want to use Linux but are stuck with a MS-Windows box, download and install Cygwin and while you're at it, also download and install Xming and PuTTY Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for MS-Windows. Xming is the leading free unlimited X Window server for MS-Windows. PuTTY is a MS-Windows client program for the SSH, Telnet and Rlogin network protocols. After installing Cygwin, all your favorite Linux apps can be run straight out of a DOS box; even bash and all your favorite daemons like SSH, Apache, etc. That's because everything has been ported to win32. It ain't Linux, but it ain't bad. |
