   > It's my understanding that the Ubuntu subsystem in recent windows is sort of a parallel environment ... but is not meant to control the system directly or as an alternate path of interaction with Windows, correct ? I am not so sure about this. I think Dustin Kirkland sheds some more light here: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/03/ubuntu-on-windows.htm... And he seems to be relatively excited about it so he benc…

   Fingerprints are usernames, not passwords. Here is an excellent (and timeless) post on this fact: https://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2013/10/fingerprints-are-use...

   Historically, Ruby in general on Windows has not been awesome. But it's not going to matter when the Windows Subsystem for Linux hits stable in a few months. http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/03/ubuntu-on-windows.htm...

    This - http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2014/12/its-a-snap.html - is a much nicer intro to Snappy and how closely it is tied to Docker. The surprising thing is that you cannot run Snappy on Docker - but perhaps there is the whole inception like thing going on there. Docker -> Snappy -> Docker -> Snappy.....

    It's not about ideological purity, but about respecting the GPLv2. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2016/feb/25/zfs-and-linux/ IANAL but Canonical's justification for the ZFS kernel module and Linux kernel being totally separate works, and the distribution itself not being a derivative work of GPLv2 seems dubious to me. https://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/02/zfs-licensing-and-li...

    No, it is not. > A team of sharp developers at Microsoft has been hard at work adapting some Microsoft research technology to basically perform real time translation of Linux syscalls into Windows OS syscalls. Linux geeks can think of it sort of the inverse of "wine" -- Ubuntu binaries running natively in Windows. http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/03/ubuntu-on-windows.htm...

    Fingerprints are usernames, not passwords (2013): http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2013/10/fingerprints-are-user... edit: The original headline before being changed, "Web standard brings password-free sign-ins to virtually any site", and contained a paragraph espousing fingerprints in place of passwords.

    There is a huge amount more than a kernel and a shell in a Linux distro. There is of course a package manager, which is usually written in python. There are all the utils to configure hardware and file systems (mkfs, mount, raid, ip, etc). The minimal Ubuntu is 63MB compressed[1], although it is not strictly comparable with a BSD base, as the BSDs include compilers in the base system. [1] http://blog.dustinkirkland.…
