    In the work context, companies seem to love Active Directory/Single Sign On. Is there an equally convenient and comprehensive Linux equivalent?

    There many Directory Servers on linux and of course LDAP for accessing them(which of course can access AD too). AD is just Microsoft's implemention of LDAP, Kerberos and DNS. Mind you having been out of IT for 12yrs my knowledge is degrading

    Question to both, why is Microsoft supporting WSL , and soon WSL 2 (with native kernel hooks).Perhaps they are thinking Windows XI will be around the corner but called Winux :cool:

    Dont know, dont care TBH. :)
