This book is an interoperability guide focusing mostly on HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, and Linux. Each chapter examines a system administration task, describes how each operating system handles the task, and then offer interoperability tips.

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.

This second edition of Guide To Parallel Operating Systems With Windows 7 and Linux, International Edition continues its unique approach of examining two of the most prominent operating systems in parallel. Rather than using a compare and contrast model, each concept is first presented conceptually before demonstrating it simultaneously on both operating systems. Readers are able to instantly switch between Windows 7 and Linux Fedora 13 to complete the myriad of hands-on activities that reinforce the similarities between the two operating systems for each conceptual task. The virtualization approach used in the text provides complete flexibility and enables learners to use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, Sun VirtualBox, or VMWare Workstation. This comprehensive guide will help readers develop the competencies they need in Windows 7 and Linux to maximize success in today's classroom as well as in the business environment.
