The Cygwin FAQ is not a UNIX primer.  However, given that the default
TERM=cygwin is unlikely to be known on most other UNIX systems, it
probably merits an entry.  (If it doesn't already have one...)

BTW, pointers to UNIX primers might indeed be good FAQ fodder.
But someone else will have to provide them.  It's been some years
since I began using 'man' instead.

Cheers,
David (Cygwin FAQ maintainer)
