I'd primarily like this for the X11 server. I have to use windows boxes at school all the time, but they never have an X11 server installed, so I can't easily ssh to my home system (well, I can, but a command prompt isn't necessarily useful). (Also - a portable ssh client aside from putty would rock.)
Cygwin is an open source package available at http://www.cygwin.com
Here's a good start: Cygwin on portable storage devices.
Most excellent. I'll take a look at that. Thanks.
Can a portable Cygwin be hosting here on PortableApps? If it needs a maintainer, then I'd be willing to do it.
Hey
I tried the suggestion in the aforementioned link but its not as easy to use.
Any chance of us seeing a PortableApps version of Cygwin?
Thanks, ronh
I'll second that.

What Isn't Cygwin?
** Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.
I second that aswell too.
Btw colinux and such are the way to run linux apps native on windows (no emulation - https://portableapps.com/node/5653).
.. For those of us who aren't programming-type dudes
