HI All - I was searching for "bash on centos on windows" as opposed to "bash on ubuntu on windows". Will there be or is there a centos on windows version? Thanks, Jerry

Oh, wait, are you talking about the shell? ;) I believe you can run a CentOS in a VM as a guest on Windows but I haven't tried. Not sure if that is what you want.

I highly doubt that Microsoft would make such a collaboration with CentOS. There is a minute possibility that it could happen with Red Hat. Please note that Ubuntu on Windows is *not* Linux. Peter

Therefore, there is no reason, in principle, why you could not build a CentOS userland on top of the Windows Subsystem for Linux. It would be about as difficult as live-migrating a working Ubuntu box to CentOS, replacing binaries one by one until you?re suddenly running a CentOS userland on top of the kernel Ubuntu shipped. Difficult, but do-able. Get to work, Jerry. :)
