Red Hat Enterprise Linux Comes To Windows 10 in the Form of WLinux Enterprise (betanews.com)

Posted by msmash on from the setting-up-a-village dept.

Mark Wilson writes: Earlier in the year open-source software startup Whitewater Foundry brought WLinux to the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Not content with creating the first native Linux distribution for WSL, the company has now gone a step further, targeting enterprise users with WLinux Enterprise. Whitewater Foundry says that WLinux Enterprise is the first product to support the industry-standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Windows Subsystem for Linux.

    Poettering announced today that from now on systemd will include an integrated kernel as part of systemd. Systemd-kernel is a mostly compatible replacement for the Linux kernel, but is a hybrid between Linux and MS DOS 2.0.

    The kernel integration was fast-tracked, having previously been scheduled to occur only after the integration of the new systemd-officesuite and renaming of systemd to Officed.

    Responding to criticism that systemd just keeps getting bigger, Poettering pointed out that some things are actually being removed. Specifically, they plan to separate out the systemd / Officed init system and make that a separate project. The newly independent init system will be called SysFkdInit.
