I'm using linux and windows on my PC to prepare
C/C++ - lessons for students at our university. 
Due to financial reasons (and a lot more other
reasons of course) we use Linux at the university,
but many students use any Windows-Version at home
and therefore I have to take care, that they can
do their homework or what ever they have to do
for the lesson at home. Cygwin is the perfect 
solution for programming in ANSI C/C++ under both
operating systems. 

btw: It's true that a email-Software like Outlook
is hard to find. I can't imagine why, but its true.
Even Mozilla, which allows multiple eMail-accounts
can't reach Outlook. There is still work to be done
for the GNU-Community. I'm always looking for a
good alternative - but that's off topic here.

Betreff: stupid question??



Ok, I have to take issue with something here. For a few weeks now I've
been skimming the posts about all these ports to cygwin
with NT/95/98/whatever..inetd, etc, etc..
And my question is, WHY? If you want all these unix programs, why not just
use unix?
It's like that scene from "notting hill" (for those who have seen it)
where he offers the girl apricots soaked in honey, but one wonders why you
would soak apricots in honey, because then they would taste like honey,
and if you wanted honey, you'd just buy honey!

ok, i'm done ranting :)
