Two points: - How is that "cruft"? - These posts are public and long-lived. Many people will read them beside= s the OP. Those folks might find the benefits of Cygwin compelling, and sh= ould be aware of the alternative. That "cruft" that you disparage could be= the very added value that makes Cygwin better than Putty for some individu= als. It does for me. Why would I opt for Putty, which is a non-standard s= olution and does not include "find", "ls", "grep" or the rest? Blecch! YMMV. --=20 Lew
