Cygwin for console users

Cygwin For those who do not know it yet, Cygwin is free, Linux like environment for Windows that provides substantial API that allows you to build (and then run) linux applications. It does not run Linux native apps out of the box, but for most cases it’s pretty easy to recompile one from its sources. This lets you have and run lot of Linux applications you know and use on your windows box. And that Cygwin is for. While installation of Cygwin is rather simple task, some things shall be "corrected" by hand, to make Cygwin use more comfortable.
