Version: Cygwin 1.3.22-1
"Fantastic: replaces MKS, Hummingbird eXceed, PUTTY and MS SFU 3.0"
Pros: Latest versions of Perl, Bash, vim, Xwindows, ssh, scp, gcc, g++, and vnc. Really like the new package selection program. Switch to Full View when selecting which components you want to install and just rerun the setup to add or delete pieces.
Cons: Version from this site (download) is out of date. Get latest downloader/setup program directly from cygwin.redhat dot com.
