Working in Windows machines

To my taste, Windows is inefficient for serious number crunching. But if you need to do so, and you feel like doing things the Unix way, you may:

1. install MobaXterm, a nice unix terminal emulator
2. install notepad++, en excellent plain text editor
3. get a linux/unix command cheatsheet (most commands are in MobaXterm):
1. In Spanish: Comandos Unix/Linux – Guía de Referencia
2. In French
3. or in English
4. I also recommend to use awk (although this is by no means absolute need). For an awk manual, the best one that I know is in Spanish, but there are many out there.
5. And finally, R and gfortran .

There is always the question on how to open a terminal. Here it goes for Windows 10 and for Windows 7.
