Microsoft Windows '''Services for UNIX''' (SFU) is a package which provides a [[Unix]] compliant environment on [[Microsoft Windows]] computers. It provides both a ''subsystem'', named [[Interix]] and a set of tools. [[Microsoft]] does not intend to produce any further versions of the product and plans to discontinue support for it [http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,2180,1855248,00.asp] because it is being integrated as part of the regular OS distribution[http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/forum/tm.aspx?m=5623].

[[Interix]] is not an emulation of a [[Unix]] kernel, but rather an implementation of an ''environment subsystem'' running within the Windows kernel. This improves performance compared with the emulation used by [[Cygwin]].
= Introduction =
This is a fun and simple game. [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] - feel free to join in! It's a good place to practice making links to articles, and to start looking for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random interesting articles] on [[Wikipedia]].
SFU contains:
== How to Play ==
* Over 350 [[Unix]] utilities such as vi, ksh, csh, ls, cat, awk, grep, etc.
By way of example, a game might start off with: <code>cat</code>. Then, the next person might add <code>cat, dog</code>. And after a few more rounds, we might get <code>cat, dog, pet, animal, forest, tree, ...</code>
* [[GCC]] 3.3 compiler, includes and libraries
* A cc-like wrapper for [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] command-line C/C++ compiler
* [[GDB]] debugger
* [[Network File System|NFS]] server and client
* A pcnfsd daemon
* [[X Window]] tools and libraries
* Tools for making NFS mountpoints appear as Windows shares, and vice-versa (''gateway'' services)
* An [[NIS]] server capability linked with Active Directory (AD)
* Some Windows/Unix authentication information synchronization tools
SFU does not contain (but binaries are available for a separate installation[http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/warehouse.htm]):
Simply, the game involves adding ''a single word'' to the list that is related to the previous one. Avoid repeating words, and keep the links tasteful! Clearly, as the game develops, one gets a pretty long list! If you're stuck for ideas, link to the last word in the list and add the first link that appears on that page as the next link. Thus [[Sebastian Junger]] would be followed by [[1962]], and [[Latin]] by [[language]].
* bash, OpenSSH, sudo, CVS, ClamAV, bzip2, gmake, curl, emacs, Apache, XView, ruby, Tcl, Python
Although [[X Window]] client libraries and applications are provided, SFU does not contain a native [[X server]]. A number of third party X servers can be used including [[WRQ]]'s [[Reflection X]] or [[Hummingbird]]'s [[Exceed]]. In addition, StarNet provides a free [http://www.starnet.com/xwin32LX/get_xwin32LX.htm Win32 X Server] designed specifically for local X applications on Windows. Several [[Free software|free software]] X11 Server implementations are available from [[X/Cygwin]], [http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming Xming] and [http://www.pexus.com/ X-Deep/32].
Try to update the word count each time you add a word. The unofficial limit for the main game is 500 words.
== Released versions ==
Occasionally, it's good to have some ''branches'' that diverge the main game into several sections. The unofficial limit for said branches is 80 words.
Current release is version 3.5 on January, 2004.
Windows 2003 Server Release 2, to be released in December 2005, contains some SFU components, namely Microsoft Services for Network File System (NFS), Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications, and Identity Management for UNIX. [http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/R2/unixcomponents/default.mspx]
'''In spirit of the game, please only type one word consecutively.''' Then, another person can respond to your word, and the game continues!
Previous version 3.0 released 2002.
