Cygwin Environment |
Cygwin is a collection of free
software tools that make a Windows system to act like a UNIX system.

VMware Player |
If you want to run multiple operating systems on your computer at the same

VMware Player
runs on Windows or Linux and allows you to run any type of operating system
as guest. |
Oracle VM VirtualBox |
After switching to Linux, I started using Oracle VirtualBox, because it is supported better under Ubuntu. |
