How can I practice linux/shell commands in windows?

See I am computer engg. student and I have a lab called system software laboratory. We have red hat linux in our lab.. Now in case I have to practice linux commands like fork(), pipe(), execlp(), .. Do I have to install linux compulsary on my PC(Windows) or do I have any other alternative?

  1. I'm not sure that this is what you are looking for, but try Cgywin.
    http://www.cygwin.com/
  2. Both of those were good answers but I think you should try to ssh into the lab via so you are really at the machine. Ask your professor if you can have access. It should not be a problem.

  3. You can use cygwin as previously mentioned, though I'm not sure how well it executes the Unix system calls.

    Another option is if your lab has a SSH server, you can remotely connect to the lab using SSH Secure Shell, PuTTY, or open-ssh. You can remotely use the linux machines.
