Cygwin

In this blog i am going to post some of the basic unix commands along with their syntax . For some commands i may also include screen shots. It would be easier for you to understand. Most of the screen shots are taken from the Cygwin. It provides a basic Unix Like environment with a set of tools.

Cygwin is a small package that can be installed on any windows based computer to feel the unix like environment. The current version of cygwin 1.7 is under Beta Testing. So, If you want to practice some of the basic unix commands without installing the Solaris or BSD or etc., you can probably go with cygwin. Its easy to download and install and it is almost compatible with everything.

I can tell you that all the unix commands will not work, but mostly will work. In order to have that we need to add some more additional package files. we will be having the option to add the additional packages while installing the cygwin.
