Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX
Aussies grab Linux

I agree I was a bit drunk and I tend to be a bit easily influenced. Yes the Linsux thing is very immature I pissed a few people off here when I first joined because I had a bad experience with it and I don't say it any more because it sound lame. I've decided I want to learn UNIX and I want to start with the shell. But I'm sticking with Windows as my main OS for now.
Is there a UNIX shell available for Windows?
Once I've mastered the shell I could get in to UNIX properly and get my own opinion.

I've just tried installing it, but the set-up program I downloaded was a download manager, and very shitty too. My download manager can reconnect and continue downloading after a disconnection. This thing is I'm only on shitty dial up and after 2 hours it disconnects and I have to reconnect. This shitty download manager always gets to 96% complete then my ISP disconnects and I loose the download, :mad: so unless there's any other way of installing this I'm fucked.

sry didnt see this, oh well, this still needs to be said, albeit no longer targeted at you, just others with your earlier opinion
Heres my opinion, I actually prefer *BSD, Solaris, and IRIX to Linux, you have to note that i said "My opinion", not "omfg fook everyone who uses linux, because my friend said that more pure unices are uber leet".
I happen to totally agree with Lord, as he was right on the money. In my eyes, the only reason to tell anyone that another OS is better that the one that they are using is if their needs could be better met with a different OS, anything else would be your opinion. The only exception of course is when someone is using winblows for something other than modern gaming, as thats the only reason whatsoever for even looking at a windows install (although, to tell the truth, that prob won't be a reason for long).

Yes I agree with Lord C too.
Could anyone give advice and help of setting up Cygwin?
