[Cialug] vim on cygwin

[Matt]

I've gotta say, I love cygwin.  I have a dyndns account for one of my domains, and I use one of the subdomains for my home IP.  I use cygwin and openssh to give me the ability to check in on my computer and sftp/scp files around, and I've been using it a lot, lately, for sshfs on my LAN.

I didn't install vim, though.  I hate that editor.  ;)
