I'm advocating rolling out Cygwin as part of a production environment based on Win2K systems. Though I've got extensive 'Nix experience, most of the crew here doesn't. I'm looking for a guide that covers the essentials of what are needed to know to use Cygwin, for a legacy MS Windows / DOS user. Most similar information GNU/Linux goes a bit too far into system administration. What I'm really looking for would cover: - The shell. Bash. - Directories. '/' rather than '\'. Cygwin naming conventions. Accessing legacy MS Windows paths. - Essential commands. Likely: ls, cd, pwd, rm, less, cat. - Getting help. man, apropos. If anyone's familiar with same, please point me in the right direction. Otherwise, I might be tempted to start something. Peace. -- Karsten M.
