Hi All,
I'm just doing a further C course in UNIX. The version the course is run in is SCO sys V, am I ok to use cygwin which I downloaded or should I install a version of LINUX to emulate the UNIX OS?
TIA
Cheers
Andy.
Depends on your needs. Cygwin is just a layer of combined DLL (emulator) structure to be able to run on MS and normal alike PC. It looks more to a Software then a OS. Where Linux is a OS which needs partition and some space of Swap memory to be able to run. The decision depends on you ( PC Capability, Amount of HDD Space, RAM, which Software), all the mentioned item is a prerequisite in terms of the OS Choosing game. You may try Linux or other distribution OS.
Ok,
so to run C programs in a UNIX like environment, I'm better off with a full LINUX installation?
Cheers
Andy.
