Please note that the complete infrastructure of all the big Linux distributions (Red Hat, Debian, etc.) is all served over plaintext only.
It is important to remember that downloading your software over an encrypted link does nothing to ensure the integrity of the software. The linked document seems to be interspersed with misconceptions. For when I really need industrial-strength CygWin, I use the command line built into Git - or maybe CygWin itself. I've installed some assortment of MinGW-based Unix utilities that will mostly run from my command line or (preferrably, for me) from ConEmu. I don't use the GUI to run Unix-y programs, though. But mostly, it Just Works, and that's a good thing to be able to say of a piece of software. I think the SFTP client doesn't work with the style of password authentication I work with, and I wasn't able to get the "master control port" functionality working successfully. The GUI does a few things differently from how I'd prefer. I've been using this for about 2 years at work, and am pretty happy to have a program that provides ssh access and an X Windows servers "out of the box." It's nice that I can recommend this to my colleagues and then not have them come back to me with a lot of questions about how to get it working.įor me, MobaXTerm is a well-working substitute for PuTTy + MinGW.
