Thanks for the quick replies. I took a look at CygWin...it looks good. Are there any other programs like that around? I'd like to compare some. I found ArmedLinux but it has terrible reviews so I won't download that.

About the pronunciation of Linux, I always say LIN-UX but my bro says LEE-NUX, anywho I see it doesn't matter. TOE-MAY-TOE / TOE-MAH-TOE, aye?
