Questions that are not specific to cygwin are generally considered off-topic
for this list so are unlikely to get prompt responses or even any response.

Regarding your 3rd paragraph, look at come of these:
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=shell+scripts

Regarding your last paragraph, if learning unix commands requires using
them, one must have a unix/linux environment in which to practice and learn.
So plan on using cygwin as you learn.  Although there are other ways to get
a unix/linux environment on a Windows machine, most of the people using this
list would advise using cygwin.  I'd explain why, but I've got people
waiting for me to go home make dinner.  :)

Good luck,

- Barry
