Because my slack box needs an upgrade I cannot afford atm, I am using Cygwin on my roommates win98 box. I am having fun learning, and working on a config file for the twm window manager, as well as trying to install ctwm and Blackbox. Do any of you use Cygwin, and have you had success with window managers ?

(What is Cygwin? Cygwin is a set of Unix tools/utilities ported to run under Windows. Currently maintained by Red Hat, it includes the gcc compiler and a working X server)

Their XFree86 page is here: http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/
