Any 32-bit edition of Windows, or being stuck on a pre-Win 10 version (corporate desktop, for example). Personally I prefer to wrap Cygwin in http://www.msys2.

Personally I prefer to wrap Cygwin in http://www.msys2.org/ http://www.msys2.org/ these days, which gives me pacman as a package manager.

And the Windows installer would not let install the 64bit version on 2 gigs of ram... > Personally I prefer to wrap Cygwin in http://www.msys2.org/ http://www.msys2.org/ Can you tell me more about that? Isn't cygwin and msys2 two separate project?
