Yeah, if we're gonna *NIXify their boxen that can be a more individual
thing at this point.

Then again, if CygWin doesn't have that big of a footprint, goes on easy and
apps we want depend on it we can include it. Last I heard it was a pain to
get setup, though.

OK, that's quite a few programs. We've gotten more in other posts. Has
anyone evaluated the two Free Software for m$ projects that were posted last
week?

Who wants to lead this project? It's a great opportunity for us and Free
Software. We all want to get jobs doing GNU/Linux, so let's create the
market that needs us.

ciao,
