I'm on the Gentoo/CygWin mailing list; I'm probably responsible for |
| 14 |
whatever small interest in Gentoo running on CygWin there is in the user |
| 15 |
community :). I'd certainly use it if available, and I'd certain test it |
| 16 |
thoroughly. But it wouldn't be the end of civilzation as *I* know it if |
| 17 |
nobody worked on it; I spend a lot more time, at home anyway, with a |
| 18 |
*real* Gentoo environment, and it won't make any difference at all to |
| 19 |
the Red Hat (and Windows) bigots where I work. |

CygWin is my "command line of choice" on the Windows systems at work. I |
| 22 |
haven't gone so far as to mount a CAPP (CygWin/Apache/Postgres/PHP) |
| 23 |
server with it, but I just might someday. |
