I've ran FSL on cygwin successfully for quite a while -- and had minimal
trouble in installing it.
Couldn't do the virtual machine because of the fake IPs it would create,
which got me booted out of my network for a while..
I've often heard complaints about the FSL-cygwin compatibility, however.
Plus, you'll be missing out on the new packages, which will not run on
cygwin; so you may be better off using something like Ubunto, which is a
really friendly and intuitive.
