Fine,
but on my Debian box
`printenv OSTYPE' gives something.
Is it a cygwin feature ?
Thanks,

I'm sorry Jerome but this issue has been discussed to death in the email
archives. If you want to find out why OSTYPE and various other environment
variables are no longer set by default in bash, please check the email
archives. The reason and discussion is all there. Let's keep the rehash
of this issue to a minimum, OK?
TIA,

The most recent update to bash stopped exporting a lot of variables by default. I believe you'll find discussion of this in the cygwin mailing list archives.
It is documented too, although admittedly not in an especially prominent place. I re-found it just now in usr/doc/bash-2.05a/COMPAT (which documents incompatibilities between the current bash and the previous widely-available version, 1.14), item 15:
Bash no longer auto-exports the HOME, PATH, SHELL, TERM, HOSTNAME, HOSTTYPE, MACHTYPE, or OSTYPE variables.
I'll bet your Debian box is running a slightly older bash than is now included with Cygwin.
