Need advice - Winbash or Cygwin?
HI Folks -

With many clients (most) going to Linux environments, I'd like to begint o develop one set of portable scripts I can use across all clients. Therefore, for my clients still on Windows, I'll need to use a tool to be able to do this.

What would you recommend to run shell on Windows? I'm seeing a lot of chatter on Winbash or Cygwin. Do both some with all shell binaries?

Thanks!
