Blogging Ottinger (tim)Cygwin upgrade
Well, I don’t know what they’ve done, but cygwin is now much faster than it’s been in previous releases. Now it’s running nearly at Linux speeds. Finally svn is quick, and bash is responsive. It’s a good thing.
If you don’t know cygwin, it’s a GNU (as in Unix/Linux/BSD) dcommand line ported to windows. You can operate as if you are in some kind of *nix. This is good for people who come from unix/linux/bsd to windows, and for those who might be interested in transferring out of windows into a more enlightened environment. It’s also just nice for techies in Windows. You should give it a shot.
