  • Cygwin Utilities -- I couldn't compute without these ... they include your UNIX favorites like the bash and Bourne shell, awk, diff, cut, find, gcc, grep, gzip, head, kill, ls, make, perl, rcp, scp, sed, sleep, ssh, tail, tar, touch, vi, wait, wc, wget, and about a hundred more
  • UnixUtils -- Slightly less complete assortment of UNIX ports that are much more portable and quickly installable as they require no special DLLs, unlike Cygwin.
