Overview
What is Gow?
Gow - The lightweight alternative to Cygwin
In depth
A closer look at Gow
Gow (Gnu On Windows) is the lightweight alternative to Cygwin. It uses a convenient Windows installer that installs about 130 extremely useful open source UNIX applications compiled as native win32 binaries. It is designed to be as small as possible, about 10 MB, as opposed to Cygwin which can run well over 100 MB depending upon options. Get Gow and give it a go to see just how useful it can actually be for you!
