Why I Can't Run Windows Exclusively
| Gripe | Solution |
|---|---|
| I need dig. nslookup is not an acceptable substitute. | download the bind sources, build them on cygwin, then just install dig. |
| I need ethereal (or another sniffer) | Ethereal is now available for Windows! |
| I need nmap (or another system mapper) | Nmap is now available for Windows! |
| cygwin is too klunky and not-quite-integrated into Windows | learn to deal with it. It is just slightly different, and that difference will go away with more use. |
| eXceed sucks just slightly less than cygwin's X. | Suck it up. |
| neither eXceed nor cygwin's clipboards are seamlessly integrated with the Windows cut/copy/paste. | rxvt in cygwin is reasonably well integrated between the unix-way and the Windows clipboard. |
| cut/copy/paste (or, more accurately, alternate-buffer copying) is just so much smoother in X. | rxvt in cygwin is reasonably well integrated between the unix-way and the Windows clipboard. |
| in text windows, insertions go where the cursor is, not where the mouse cursor is when you click. Text wrapping is much better in X. | rxvt in cygwin behaves the way I like it. |

This is a collection of techical information, much of it learned the hard way. Consider it a lab book or a /info directory. I doubt much of it will be of use to anyone else.
