Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com) is your friend; it provides a relatively
complete Unix hosted on Win32. It works best on the NT branch of the
family when the disks are NTFS, but will degrade gracefully under W9x
and/or FAT.
It's free software. As soon as I find myself on a Windows machine, it's
the first thing I install after the Internet tetralogy: AVG Anti-Virus,
Spybot, Adaware, and Sygate Personal Firewall.
Disclaimer: I have no connection with any of these companies.
