[Plug] Cygwin (was: freeware windows X server ? (was: uncrippled win32X server))
|
Just wanted to second this. I've been using this for about three
years. Comes with bash, most of the standard gnu utils
(byacc/flex/diff/cat/cut/grep/sed/awk/gcc), only thing missing is a good
editor. I use a vi clone called Lemmy, but I understand that there are
now ports of vim and elvis available for free (I paid $20 for a Lemmy
license) and of course there are emacs clones/ports too. If it weren't
for VB, writing code under NT could almost be palatable...
