    Which distro for Windows Services for Linux?


    Moderators: If this thread belongs in another forum, please move.

    So someone gave me some scripts that run under Linux, and he uses Linux under WSL. Seems like a good idea, but I have no idea which Linux distro I should use.

    Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on on Windows 10 | Microsoft Docs

    Years (and years) ago, I worked with Sun Microsystems machines running Solaris and before that a business system that run AT&T UNIX, so I'm no stranger to UNIX/Linux. I want a Linux that doesn't require too much administration for running simple commands and scripts, nothing fancy.

    Which distro of Linux?

    I had an old pc laying around I tried installing Foldix on but that failed mierably. Anyway...

    What distro of linux should I use for this pc (specs will be listed below). I intend to use it for folding and as a backup PC and something to use to read directions on incase I need to do something to my PC I can have directions right here.

    533MHz PIII-based Celeron
    256MB SDRAM unknown speed (probably PC100)
    ASUS MEW-VM
    10gb hard drive
    no video card
    Linksys LNE 100TX network card (no onboard LAN)

    If anyone could suggest a Linux distro and direct me to some Linux dirvers for this thing I... uhh... will send you an e-cookie and click the thanks button!

    Theres a list of minimalist Linux distros. It wasn't on that list but i highly recommend Arch Linux, its a really solid distro.
