Since I’m doing the new install thing, I figured I’d record some of my setup. So here is my cygwin install.

• Internet utilities: wget, curl, ping, openssh, openssl-devel, mysql, nc
• Program compilation stuff: gcc-g++, autoconf, pkg-config, automake
• Programming languages: perl, python
• Other utilities for programming: git, sqlite3
• Text editor: nano

Mintty [non-default] options:

• Text->Locale=en_US UTF-8
• Mouse->Copy on select=Off
• Mouse->Clicks place command line cursor=On

I also haven’t decided yet if I will do apache or PHP via cygwin or windows installs yet. May do a post about that later.
