Nevertheless, I recently found something that's relevant: http://debian-interix.net/ This is a Debian port on top of Interix, a.k.a. Microsoft Services for Unix, the unix-alike that runs on the NT kernel. Unlike Cygwin it doesn't go through the win32 layer and so doesn't need all the emulation layers, which gives it (allegedly) much better I/O throughput, proper case sensitive filenames, inode semantics, etc. While installation is still a bit tortuous, they have a buildd and claim to support a decent number of packages... Is this of interest to anyone? - -- David Given dg AT cowlark DOT com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJqIBzf9E0noFvlzgRAs3KAJ4le9J35bJcN7agQVK0RfU+7I6Y2ACeLxFZ Wtyi1QBbD79to3bcE/XXxg0= =JXPo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
