Submission + - Cygwin 1.7 Released 1

jensend writes: The 1.7 branch of Cygwin, the Unix-like environment for Windows, has reached stable status after about 3 1/2 years of effort. Among many other changes, this release drops support for Windows 9x. Since the NT API and NT-based versions of Windows are more capable and somewhat less of a mismatch with POSIX (for instance, they include a security model), this has allowed for code path simplifications, better performance (particularly noticeable with pipe I/O), better security, and better POSIX compatibility.

Wifi is sketchy on my Toshiba Satellite. If the network requires a WEP key or anything, it just wont connect sometimes... no matter how many times I mess with the settings. I liked OpenSuse (11.1 I believe) and KDE, but it was too annoying to use daily, as I'm always changing wireless networks.
