Hi,
Many thanks and appreciation for having a product like Cygwin.
I will be testing it on Windows Media Centre Edition.
I was really disappointed when my new computer with Windows MC could not
run Cygwin Binaries in my research studies.  I actually started using Dev 
C++, installed Linux
as I had no other choice. But I wondered whether it is something to do with 
Memory as
my computer has 1Gb RAM, and whether Cygwin could reach only a certain 
level.
But small code to check memory was working perfect but programs with bulky
variables did not work.

Thanks again,
Champ
