Cygwin and telnet

If you are looking for small network tools like telnet, you may found it difficult to find via package search in cygwin's setup tool. That's because it is part of package inetutils. Thought that might save some folks out there google time :)

Dig and Cygwin

Just a quick tip today. If you need dig, a handy DNS query tool, on your cygwin bash you have to install bind package. Searching for Dig in cygwin's setup tool does not help, so after I figured out it is part of BIND I thought I help save some time ;)
Bind is a full blown DNS server but it's not that big to install and dig is definitly worth it ;)
