10 You are the fist one, who comes up with stability warnings towards
11 Cygwin, after I am trying for 3 days to get it running with Prefix.
12 Checkings are really slow, feels like 1995.

14 I tried to collect informations about Cygwin before. Wikipedia writes
15 they use it, to compile Sun Java and OpenOffic. That is serious
16 software. Isn't it?

20 I still believe that the majority of my target group would not spend
21 extra money only to feed microsoft. Switching to interix would
22 drastically reduce the group of potential users. Still it may be the
23 better decision as a large group of frustrated users is nothing good
24 itself.

26 Guess I spend another day testing Cygwin, to find out how far the
27 instabilities really matter.
