[dba-Tech] Ubuntu Linux on Windows 10

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Shamil:

That is great to hear that. 

...But I have made no such progress. We have been working to clean up and separate all our photos from our holidays as we are having friends over this weekend and they are also planning a trip to Portugal, in the fall. The photos, Picassa and Adobe photoshop are all running on the same Windows 10 computer and my wife asked me not to do any upgrading until after the wekend. (That was not a request...) ;-)

Aside: A question; do you know of any simple browser based photo-slider-show application? I was planning on just running a slide-show and tell for our friends and the best screen surface would be our smart-tv...which runs some kind of firefox knock-off browser. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :-)

Jim

 Hi Jim --

I have got the subject installed as described here  http://tinyurl.com/z4e78ow  .
Setup took several minutes to complete and "occupied" a couple of GB on my system disk.

>>>There has been some complaints that installing the Bash shell on to Windows 10 exposes Windows to possible intruder attacks. When looking closer at the articles claiming this, an desktop intruder must actually be in the room with the computer. If the article I read is actually claiming this is a threat, it is nothing more than the usual "click-bait" assuming their audience is too stupid. The truth is that if any tech has unfettered physical access to any computer that computer is compromised.

>>>The next big advancement is actually installing Ubuntu into the Windows 10 environment. This coupling, given a series of performance tests, show this to be very successful:
