"A system administrator's guide to heterogeneous networking"-- Cover.

The first expert presentation of Linux specifically for Windows users, using Windows terminology and examples, and building on Windows knowledge. Practical and to the point, the authors explain Linux's essentials, dispel its myths, show how to use Linux in an enterprise, and provide practical guidelines and interoperability tips on setting up various Linux servers in a Windows environment.

Become productive with seamless interoperability between Windows and the Linux subsystem, and understand the problems that Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) solves. Microsoft has pushed the boundaries of open source research with WSL and you don't want to miss this ride. You will learn keywords, definitions, new features, setup, and use cases around WSL, starting from downloading to setup to interoperability between Windows and Linux subsystems. You will understand the architecture of WSL and all the new features in WSL 2. This book includes wonderful use cases, including a dedicated chapter to how to start programming and web development on WSL, and the ability to use containerization solutions like Docker and Kubernetes. WSL is a great solution to work natively in a Linux environment from your Windows 10 machines. Modern applications demand integration of cross-platform tools, services and technologies. WSL makes life for developers and system administrators easy because it allows Linux applications to run on Windows without worrying about installing a Linux distribution on a traditional Virtual Machine. It is remarkable product with powerful functionality – get started with it using this book today. What You'll Learn Review the workings and internals of WSL and WSL2 Run Linux-based applications natively on Windows Establish your development environment in WSL Build mixed experiences (Windows-Linux) Set up and manage WSL and supported distribution packages. Who This Book Is For Programmers, web developers and system administrators working on Windows and Linux environments who want to bridge the gap between operating systems by running a Linux as a subsystem on Windows to boost their overall productivity, performance and delivery.

As many more companies implement Linux alongside Windows, there is a critical need for guidance on how to make the two systems work together effectively. Addressing version 2.4 of the Linux kernel, this book provides network managers and system administrators with the most up-to-date working resource for all their Linux with Windows 2000 integration questions. Expert Ross Brunson uses many practical examples to help explain all topics from the ground up, including archi-tectures and features, strengths and weaknesses of both systems, protocols, system administration, various cross-platform operations, and finally, configuration and troubleshooting.

Everything a developer needs to know in order to hit the ground running with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)! Since its release, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has seen great gains in popularity, moving from curious early adopters to wide scale interest from teams at large enterprises. This authoritative guide to WSL covers the gamut, introducing developers to architecture, installation, and the command line, all the way to advanced configurations. Practical use cases are sprinkled throughout to reinforce understanding. This book is design to efficiently and effectively get developers comfortable using this exciting set of open source tools- tools that are uniquely suited to cloud-based development and management workflows on Windows, including Azure. Windows developers will begin with the basics of installation and then be introduced to a vast library of open source tools that they can integrate into their own workflows, using their existing development tools, like Code, Visual Studio, and JetBrains IDEs, or they can explore new ones like GNOME Builder or KDevelop. This book also covers the topic of cross-platform development of Windows and Linux applications, with tools built into Visual Studio and cross-platform libraries from WSL distros. Expert author Hayden Barnes firmly believes that much of what WSL is, is what developers make of it, a guiding mantra that is reinforced throughout this valuable cross platform learning journey. Developers will get excited about the many new opportunities at their fingertips and be astounded at what they can do and achieve with WSL. What You Will Learn How to install and configure WSL, a unique and novel configuration process Understand the Linux command line, including utilities such as the file system, a text editor, shell scripting, and installing packages Receive an unbiased overview of WSL, its architecture, installation, the command line, practical use cases, and advanced configuration. Create a development workstation using WSL. Compare and contrast the differences between WSL 1 and WSL 2 Explore, in depth, some of the more popular workflows in WSL Consider and plan key factors for a large scale deployment of WSL This book is for developers who need to know learn WSL and how to build a development stack, integrating it with their preferred code editor or IDE if they so choose. Existing Windows and Linux system administrators will learn how to install, deploy, and manage WSL. Power users who are comfortable in a command line, but may be new to Linux or WSL, may also find this book useful.
