A few years ago, I attempted to install cygwin on Windows XP and found that despite following the standard instructions, I was unsuccessful in getting cron to run, had some problems with gcc, etc.
Are there additional cygwin tutorials, guides, helps, books that might provide more in-depth help for someone not particularly knowledgable in administering a unix setup? Maybe something oriented towards someone with more Windows experience?
Thank you for any pointers you might be able to provide.

Thank you. We haven't started yet on the setup - there's always something that needs to be fixed... - I just thought I would do some pre-emptive research so that we had some useful links before hand. I know that when we did this before, we used the FAQs, instructions, etc. but just could not figure out how to get things to work.
I think this time we will probably start fresh, but I am going to see if I can figure out what packages are currently installed, so that we can at least start out with those already installed.
