Windows 10 UBuntu bash

My company uses mostly Windows and Ubuntu servers, I requested a MacBook, obviously.

However, there are certain internally-written programs that will run on the Windows only, so I run Parallels hypervisor with Windows 10 and Ubuntu.

On Windows 10, I have a hard time with the Command Prompt, last time I used DOS was in c. 1999, so I opted to try installing Bash.

$ ping Google.com

Checking for Python

You also have python3 installed, you can run 'python3' instead.

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
