Cygwin quickstart

Cygwin is ESSENTIAL to set up sshd so you can use Windows as a jump box. But it won't ever have i3. So don't spend too much time there!

Download and install npm for Windows (seems to integrate)
Download cygwin
- Put the shortcut in the task bar; right-click > properties > advanced > Run as Administrator (so we can run services)
Select the following packages:

# added procps-ng for [watch]
openssh stow xorg-server git tig procps-ng

SCRIPT this:

# from : http://www.noah.org/ssh/cygwin-sshd.html
RUN AS ADMIN: cygwin prompt
> right click taskbar icon, right-click CygWin64 Terminal, "run as admin"

ssh-host-config -y # this will create a new WINDOWS USER cyg_server

# Start the sshd daemon oh yeah!
cygrunsrv -S sshd

# To use pem files or keys, you must strip permissions:
  rclick > Properties > Security > Advanced > Disable inheritance > Copy existing > remove everyone, domain (only mbehrnsm remains)

# where is cygwin stuff?
$ cygpath.exe -w ~
C:\cygwin64\home\mbehrnsm
