  1. Yes, Cygwin is command line only.

    However, you can try Cygwin/X to get a graphical user interface.

    http://x.cygwin.com/

    Cygwin = GNU + Cygnus + Windows

    Note that you can't just install Cygwin and start using Linux apps, you have to compile/build every app from it's source code.

    Hope that helps you.

  2. It's a UNIX command line for windows.  Info @ lifehacker:
