Gnuwin32

June 13, 2008

Windows has always lacked all those nice little tools that unix people take for granted.  I am always using commands like tail -f to display log files, grep to search for a string, ls for listing files and the list goes on.  Download the following port of these legendary unix tools and add them to your path.  It is inevitable that linux will become the dominant os over the coming years so you might as well get use to some of the command line tools now.

    Also look at cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/ for awesome linux/unix emulation under windows, especially if you need to ssh into a unix box, run ssh server, and run X-windows programs.
