Hi folks
simplicity itself to install Fedora rel 42 on WSL :
a ) Install -- took less than 45 secs !!

b) install a Non GUI app -- e.g fastfetch via dnf install fastfetch and run it :

Now I'll have a play with it to see if I can use things like shared external usb drives and some sort of GUI apps.
Might be quite useful if I don't need a full blown VM !! Some sort of "bridged" connection ?? to get "outside" internet access - host communication is OK via localhost / 127.0.0.1
Could be a bit of fun this !!!
Cheers
