-<title>Quick Start Guide for those more experienced with UNIX</title>
-<para>
-If you are an experienced UNIX user who misses a powerful command-line
-environment, you will enjoy Cygwin.
-Developers coming from a UNIX background will find a set of utilities
-they are already comfortable using, including a working UNIX shell. The
-compiler tools are the standard GNU compilers most people will have previously
-used under UNIX, only ported to the Windows host. Programmers wishing to port
-UNIX software to Windows NT will find that the Cygwin library provides
-an easy way to port many UNIX packages, with only minimal source code
-changes.
-</para>
-<para>
-Note that there are some workarounds that cause Cygwin to behave differently
-than most UNIX-like operating systems; these are described in more detail in
-<xref linkend="using-effectively"></xref>.
-</para>
-<para>
-Use the graphical command <command>setup.exe</command> any time you want
-to update or install a Cygwin package. This program must be run
-manually every time you want to check for updated packages since Cygwin
-does not currently include a mechanism for automatically detecting
-package updates.
-</para>
-<para>
-By default, <command>setup.exe</command> only installs a minimal subset of
-packages. Add any other packages by clicking on the <literal>+</literal>
-next to the Category name and selecting the package from the displayed
-list. You may search for specfic tools by using the
-<ulink url="http://cygwin.com/packages/">Setup Package Search</ulink>
-at the Cygwin web site.
-</para>
-<para>
-Another option is to install everything by clicking on the
-<literal>Default</literal> field next to the <literal>All</literal>
-category. However, be advised that this will download and install
-several hundreds of megabytes of software to your computer. The best
-plan is probably to click on individual categories and install either
-entire categories or packages from the categories themselves.
-After installation, you can find Cygwin-specific documentation in
-the <literal>/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/</literal> directory.
