WINDOWS WSL

The MICROSOFT WSL tool (Windows Sub System for LINUX) allows the installation of a LINUX system alongside a WINDOWS system.

The newly installed LINUX system can access the WINDOWS files through the logical drives declared under the /mnt folder

The WINDOWS system can access the LINUX files via the WINDOWS FILE EXPLORER through the \\wsl$SYSTEM-NAME folder

The programs running on the LINUX system can access the internet ports and services of the WINDOWS system.

The programs running on the WINDOWS system can access the internet ports and services of the LINUX system.

This allows perfect integration between the two systems.
