linux on a windows box

[Jerry Matheny]

If you want Linux like functionality in Windows why not use Cygwin? That is 
completely accessible with Windows screen reading technology, and has all 
your development tools, as well as a lot of the more common Linux packages. 
Hope this helps.


Best reguards,

Jerry
