<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Consider the option to install a
virtual machine running Linux. Gives you the best of both worlds.
You might choose the OSGeo Live DVD as your source for the virtual
machine. It runs Xubuntu, and you'll have right from the get go
GRASS 6.4 all the other GIS software you could want.<br>
You'll find instructions on how to setup the Live DVD as a virtual
machine (with VirtualBox) right in the help files on the DVD. And
after install the "Guest Addons" in the new VM, you'll be able to
share folders between the VM and the host Windows computer, so
you'll have access to any results from your Linux GRASS work back
on the Windows machine.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Folks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just wondering how best to execute Unix and
Grass commands using Grass 6/7.0. I’m running Windows Vista,
and had started installing Cygwin, but this seems to be
massive, and not even sure if this is the best environment, as
some users don’t seem happy about it. I had initially thought
I could use the Console window, but this appears not to accept
Unix commands. I also tried the included MySys Unix console
which appears to be a Bash shell, but this does not recognise
Grass commands.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">>What would you recommend is the best
option if I want to use Grass quite a lot, but don’t want to
convert my PC to a fully fledged Linux system (unless that
really is the best option, such as using an emulator).<o:p></o:p></p>
