Not that I'm aware of.

Find a pre-compiled binary for Cygwin or build one yourself from the 
source.


>3. Where could I find cygwin-related forum for novices like me?


www.cygwin.com and this email list is the closest you'll find I guess.
Check out the documentation at the web site to get yourself acquainted
with Cygwin, what it does, and what it doesn't.

Enjoy! :-)
