And UNIX utilities! (NT 10.x comes with GNU utilites branded as the 'Linux' subsystem)

Was hoping to find tail in here so I can tail the logs. Oh well, the resource kit is still awesome.
.. hours later...

Decided to do some googling and there is some overlap with NTRESKIT and UnxUtils. Not sure if they can coexist together. I will give it a try, but UnxUtils has commands from NTRESKIT "and then some" as in more commands:

I want to uninstall Windows NT Workstation Resource Kit, but there was no uninstaller. I recognized they used InstallShield, so I thought maybe the CD has an uninstall button. But there isn't. I remembed back in the day some installshield setups have a remove all feature by simply starting the install process.

Sure enough, the install process detected the Resource Kit was already installed and offered to "Remove All"



Moving on to UnxUtils...
