Centos / Fedora and RHEL on WSL

Hi there
You can install Centos on WSL (and a nunber of other distros that aren't in the Ms store).

Fedora and RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) are I think awaiting some licensing issues between Ms and Red Hat.

anyway for Centos 7.5 download from Github

Release v0.0.1 . fbigun/WSL-Distro-Rootfs . GitHub

After that extract the zip, execute CentOS.exe. That will register the OS with WSL which is normally already in PATH -- subsequently type centos[enter] form cmd/powershell. To unregister the installed OS; wslconfig /u centos from cmd/pwsh.

Have fun !!

Cheers
jimbo
