[GTALUG] Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

[William Park]

Hi all,

I just tried "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" (yes, it's real title).  With
this, there are now 4 ways of running Unix tools on Windows.

    1. busybox -- single binary running on Windows.

    2. Cygwin -- you download and install bunch of programs, like bash,
    bc, awk, sed, etc, that will run natively on Windows.

    3. VirtualBox -- full VM.

    4. Bash on Ubuntu on Windows -- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS command line on
    Windows 10 (64bit only).  I kind of like it, because it's "official"
    and will replace Cygwin, at least.  Busybox is still useful for
    other Windows, but as Windows10x64 becomes the standard, it will be
    replaced too.
