I have Cygwin too. But you have to try out andLinux if you want all
the graphical tools like kate/amarok. Plus the fonts look nicer in
Konsole. You can run apt-get inside of it and basically have the
latest and greatest of everything. By default the andLinux installer
runs Ubuntu gutsy, but upgrading to hoary wasn't a problem. I haven't
tried upgrading to Ibex though because of the KDE 4.x being default.
Prefer to sick with 3.5x for the time being.
