UNIX emulator for Win95

I am looking for a UNIX/LINUX emulator for Win95 so that I can work on my UNIX programming while living in the psuedo-comforts of Bill Gates. I would need XWindows and maybe but I am not sure g++ (if I can remember my short lived days of having RedHat as my OS).

There is no such emulator. However, you can purchase a "shell account" which is an account on a unix-type machine that you can telnet into and do your stuff. It's not quite the same as having unix on your local machine...but if you are just going to be doing programming then that should work fine. I have a shell account at college that I work on and compile my C programs on using GCC. Just do a web search for "shell account" and you'll find what you need.

MKS Toolkit is probably the nearest thing you will get to a Unix Emulator. It works on any version of MS-DOS (including the one that comes with Win95) and attempts to simulate the Korn shell environment.

Another possibility: Find yourself a PC emulator, maybe vmware or something similar, and install Linux within this. Or, as mentioned earlier, obtain a shell account on someone's Linux/Unix box. Regarding XWindows, there are XServers available for Windows so you can run the X software on a remote machine while having it display on your Windows box at home.

do a search on www.google.com for cygwin. Its not an emu, but a compatibility layer for unix which you can get all sorts of gnu software for. Also look into www.winlinux2000.com Its linux installed onto your windows partition, running UMSDOS.

From what I understand people belive hacking is illegal, well I have something to tell you....IT ISN'T yes you got that right, there are online hacker wargames (that are legal). And even companys are giving money if you can hack into their systems.
And also hackers like using all OS's, due to the fact that any os from Linux, Unix, beOS can be hacked just as easy as windows. The only difference is that with windows they may do something in a few years if you complain. With free OS's there are 1000's of versions of them all around the net and it would take a long time to get them updated. Unlike windows.

Uh... hacking is illegal, you can even get charged w/ breaking and entering if your caught hacking. As for your OS hacking thing, Unix platforms have been aclaimed to be one of the most hardest OS's to hacking into if you dont have access to it in the first place. One of the reasons this could be would be that people that use linux/unix actually know how to use a computer... But, i'll be sticking with windows for now, or until the get some good Linux/Unix games :-)

I want to learn UNIX too. There are only 2 ways i can see of using UNIX (or an emulation) on my PC:
1. Download an emulator for win95 - i can't find one.
2. Download a REAL Unix OS onto my PC, I'll have to partition drives etc to make this work which doesn't appeal to me.

Is there any way I can use UNIX without partitioning my C drive? if not please tell me where i can download an emulator. TY!!!

Using UNIX does'nt make you a hacker
being a hacker is someone that will rise to challenge and is skilled in most OS's and is more of a programmer than anything else
it does'nt matter how you start learning
i learnt on a AMIGA and a 386 with DOS
and progressed any way my message is you dont need it to be a hacker

Just to reitterate what acidfish said, hacking is VERY illegal. I work for a multinational company installing, administrating and troubleshooting systems using various OS's including Microsoft products, UNIX and other midrange systems. If we detect a hacker we immediately start a trace, pinpoint as close as we can (depends how good the hack is as to how close we get) and whilst this is going on we also get the authorities involved straight away, no messing about. If we believe it is inside the company we let them make the decision of what to do with the hacker, if it is from the outside we just ring the police. Our clients have policies that say they will always prosecute to the full. So is it really worth it unless you are being paid to do it? And you do not need unix/linux to be a hacker anyway.

So, hacking is illegal, huh? Hoy about the gentlemen that pay me to "hack" into their LANs before they launch them? How about my buddy who is paid to attempt to break the security of e-commerce sites? Hacking itself is not illegal... hacking without permission is. 'Course I wouldn't really call it hacking if you've got permission. I mean, giving someone permission to try is just a good security precaution. This, of course, is just my humble opinion... if anyone would care to continue this debate, please I am interested in all opinions!

In response to Hello?'s comments, I have mentioned that it was not a clever idea to hack UNLESS you are being paid to do it (by that I mean paid by a legitimate company/person, not some one paying you to do their dirty work for them). Hacking is fun, hey, I have done it, but times are changing and it is getting easier to get caught unless you only want to do some crappy schoolboy hack where you stumble into something. All I want to convey is that a) you do NOT need unix/linux to hack and b) if you get caught (and that is VERY possible) you will get shagged up the arse by the authorities these days. It is now taken a lot more seriously.

So, don't get caught right.

To answer your question

I have briefly looked at vmwares package,
looks like it may do what you wnat, from
www.vmware.com

to touch on other points.
Hacking is defined as writing shortend code.
or someone who uses a system in a way in which it was not designed.
neither of these are directly illegal.

moast people who call theselvs hackers really are just petty people that are looking for attention.

Poeple often over react when they hear the term "hacker" they get an image of some child prodigy breaking into norad. this is a pre-misconception. most people that get branded "hackers have just been looking for inadequacies in a system around them. then people (like school administrators) above them that don't really understand the whole situatuion will do very rash things like remove this indivigual from the system.

I could rant for hours about this.

and no, the orignal question had nothing to do with hacking.

have fun

To all you ignorant illiterate trolls who talk about "hacking" and claim to
be "hackers" and think you know what you're talking about:



  1. Nowhere in the original post was there any mention of "hacking". Not ONE of you has a
    clear idea of what the word means.

    To get your head screwed on straight look at the definition of
    hacker at the
    Jargon File. It doesn't say anything even REMOTELY resembling what you little script
    kiddies are talking about.


    For you guys here's a definition of
    wannabe


  2. The post was asking about a UNIX EMULATOR FOR WIN95!
    READ the damn subject line!
  3. Use a freaking dictionary when you post! I've never seen such illiteracy in all my
    life. Where did you jokers go to school?
  4. Using UNIX (any flavor or derivative product) or learning to use UNIX does
    NOT     make you a hacker or provide sufficient evidence that you intend to become a
    hacker, nor does your use of UNIX provide statistically significant evidence that you'll
    ever want to become a hacker.
  5. Don't think that just because you downloaded some little program that let's you
    perform attacks or probe a system that you're a "hacker" (see the link above for the
    definition of "wannabe").
  6. Don't think that just because you know how to navigate around in a UNIX system that
    you're a "hacker" (see the link above for the definition of "wannabe").

In short, get back in school. Get your head out of your arse and stop trying to be
"cool". You're not. If you don't have a reasonably intelligent response to the question
being asked then keep your mouth shut and your trog-like comments to yourself and save
yourself some embarrassment.

Well, I totally agree with CommonSense for the fact that you would want to learn Unix for many reason that dont even comply with ahcking. Basically the term hacking has been somehow mixed with the term Unix. Seperate the 2 terms in your head because they are 2 totally different things.
In this case it is very possible that people want this emulator to study Unix for a job, so that they dont have to make a partion on their HD. I think it is a good idea and I am looking for a Unix emulator myself and was surprised how people mix then name so much with hacking. That is just stupid and misleading.

P.S. If someone has a direct site to download an emulator THEN POST IT UP ALREADY. STOP SATLLING.

First of all, people, this is NOT supposed to be a forum focused what you people call "hacking." This forum is supposed to focus on Unix emulation, and yes, there is such a thing. All of this BS about hacking is, quite frankly, very disturbing. Most of you people sound like you have absolutely no idea what hacking is in the first place.

Second of all, "real" hacking requires no UNIX emulator or UNIX system or even full knowledge about a computer system. Hacking, by definition is illegal means of gaining/or there-in changing access or code of a computer program. And, for clarification purposes, "hacking" into a system WITH permission is not real hacking because of the definition.

Even though it may be hard to believe, there are people who JUST want to find and learn a UNIX emulator, and not nessacarily for hacking purposes. Instead of focusing on hacking let's focus on UNIX emulation. And if you have a link or a page that contains a download for a UNIX emulator, please post it. This is what this forum is here for.

Okies, I came here looking for a Unix emulator for Win95. I have a drive dedicated to freeBSD and a drive dedicated to win98. I enjoy my internet and programming applications available with freeBSD, however, I also enjoy my windows environment. I'm wondering if it's at all possible to access my BSD drive through win98/95/whatever and run the certain applications via spiffy emulator from windows. Forgive me if this has already been answered.

Trying to install emacs, the "configure" script said "&lib/cpp" not found"; in fact thoese components are not found when i press the comand ls. Why do thoese components are not found in the Emacs software, version 19, since I decompressed the file emacs-19_34b_tar.gz? What more is necessary to install Emacs, gcc, gas and jde? Is there a program to install them by an easy way? If there is, please, say where to find it, or, if the uwin software has one, what is it?
