The easiest way to have a Unix/Linux like environment on a Windows PC is to install Cygwin. This will allow you to do many tasks that windows would not normally support, such as using Linux utilities like the Bash shell, grep, sed, awk, etc. Cygwin even comes with a modest X-Windows server so you can run some GUI-Based applications. A link for Cygwin is available in the 'related links' section below. If not, search Google for Cygwin, and you will find it easily. If this is not sufficient for your needs, you might need to do some virtualization. There are programs like VMWare, which will allow you to create a virtual system that runs parallel to windows. It is almost like having two computers in one. Unlike Cygwin, VMWare is not a free product, but it is more capable if you have more specific needs.
