Googled cygwin and got:

Cygwin Information and Installation
Install Cygwin now. What Is Cygwin? Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. ...
What Isn't Cygwin? Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. ...
www.cygwin.com/ - 16k - Cached - Similar pages

However, the site is down so I went to the Redhat site then called them on telco -
service rep knew little about it but their site says they sell it. Will call back tomorrow
to buy a copy.

Anyone know a working download site for cygwin. I'm anxious to install this so I can familiarize
myself with Linux. In a week or so I will have a spare old machine for a solo Linux install.
