Yes, yes, I know I'm replying to a post over a month old. Nevertheless,
I recently found something that's relevant:
http://debian-interix.net/
This is a Debian port on top of Interix, a.k.a. Microsoft Services for
Unix, the unix-alike that runs on the NT kernel. Unlike Cygwin it
doesn't go through the win32 layer and so doesn't need all the emulation
layers, which gives it (allegedly) much better I/O throughput, proper
case sensitive filenames, inode semantics, etc.
While installation is still a bit tortuous, they have a buildd and claim
to support a decent number of packages...
Is this of interest to anyone?
