Help Sorting a 302 MB text file.

Can anyone help me sort alphabetically (and possibly remove dupliate lines) a 300 megabyte text file?

I have thought of breaking it up into smaller files and Edit Pad can make abc order out of files upto 1 meg almost, but that would mean I would have to do it 300 times.

How can I abc order and then remove duplicates from this 300 meg text file?

Thank you very much in advance, hopefully I can save some time and get some knowledge.

My system is windows xp home sp2, but I can upload the file to a fedora core 2 or 3 server if neccessary, but would take alot of time.

thanks again.
