Linux is a great version of Cygwin for non Windows PCs
We heard a couple of stuffed suits talking tech in Cambridge the other day and, I kid you not, this is what one guy said to the other one.

My crew was walking a few steps behind them, returning from lunch, and we nearly lost it (lunch) right then and there; we were laughing so hard.

:rofl:

1. Quiet, please. Their "Non Windows Cygwin" IT specialist needs the work.
It took him forever to convince his boss that Linux was the best version of Cygwin for non Windows Pcs. Now he just has to figure out what to do with all the additional money they budgeted for it.

2. I should go back to college.
After hearing sonething like that coming out of their best and brightest, I am sure I could own my own university in two years, minimum.
