coLinux - Native Windows Linux
Posted: 13 Feb 2012, 20:35
coLinux is a Linux that can be installed in Windows without the likes of VMware.
It is much faster and the project has just found a spnsor so it will soon be for 64bit too. You get a terminal in Windows and .... then ...what?
It will probably not run a DE yet and probably not an Apache server either.
It is supposed to be handled remotely via SSH so some kind of services must be available.
This is a Windows program and can be downloaded here.
But as a Linux installation it probably is useless, and I am very unsure if it will be able to promote Linux in any way. I think this program will contribute to prejudices regarding Linux being a cryptic system.
It will be interesting to see how it develops though.
