# Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for MS Windows. You can read more about it on the Cygwin home page, but this page assumes you know what it is and have already decided that you want it. If you're a Unix user and you're stuck with a Win32 box, you probably do. It's quite a remarkable hack.

Download the Cygwin setup.exe from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe

# Packages
inetutils  # telnet(1)
ncurses    # see Terminator FAQ
openssh    # SSH (client and server, though the server's not so great)
ruby       # run Perl, Python, or Ruby scripts
vim        # edit stuff locally
...

# you can update your installation using "unattended" mode with -q
# Cygwin 1.7's setup.exe introduces a -P switch which takes a list of extra packages. Setup needs to be run from a cmd window, not from bash. Drag the shortcut to setup.exe from your Desktop into the cmd window.
