I'm advocating rolling out Cygwin as part of a production environment
based on Win2K systems.
Though I've got extensive 'Nix experience, most of the crew here
doesn't. I'm looking for a guide that covers the essentials of what are
needed to know to use Cygwin, for a legacy MS Windows / DOS user. Most
similar information GNU/Linux goes a bit too far into system
administration. What I'm really looking for would cover:
- The shell. Bash.
- Directories. '/' rather than '\'. Cygwin naming conventions.
Accessing legacy MS Windows paths.
- Essential commands. Likely: ls, cd, pwd, rm, less, cat.
- Getting help. man, apropos.
If anyone's familiar with same, please point me in the right direction.
Otherwise, I might be tempted to start something.
Peace.
