00:00:06,679 --> 00:00:13,189
In this video I want to show you two things that
you can do to facilitate working with Linux if you're on Windows.

2
00:00:14,490 --> 00:00:17,750
Thing number
one is Ubuntu.

3
00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:24,480
We installed WSL in lesson 1.6. Now
how do you access it? Pretty simple.

4
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,230
Go to the search
bar and type Ubuntu.

5
00:00:29,219 --> 00:00:32,299
That will give access
to your WSL instance.

6
00:00:33,859 --> 00:00:40,350
Who am I is showing me who I
am, LS is showing me current files and

7
00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:46,840
LS a showing me all the files
in there. And that is the WSL environment.

8
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:51,030
But I told you before
that WSL is probably not the

9
00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:54,659
best way to get familiar
with the Linux operating system.

10
00:00:55,469 --> 00:01:00,609
If you are on Windows and you want
to connect remotely, you can use Mobile Xterm.

11
00:01:01,950 --> 00:01:05,719
Let me show you
mobaxterm. I have already installed

12
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:09,489
mobaxterm and this is
what the interface looks like.

13
00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:15,040
A common way to access Linux
service remotely from Windows is Mobile Xterm.

14
00:01:15,739 --> 00:01:21,409
Mobile Xterm allows you to define different sessions.
As you can see, WSL Ubuntu is already available.

15
00:01:22,290 --> 00:01:27,000
If you want to create a new
session, you just open this session icon,

16
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,709
you click on SSH and you enter
the IP address of the remote host.

17
00:01:34,209 --> 00:01:36,890
Also it's recommended
to specify a username.

18
00:01:38,250 --> 00:01:41,409
If necessary, specify your port
and then you click ok.

19
00:01:42,489 --> 00:01:45,430
And that's going to establish
the session to the remote computer.

20
00:01:46,109 --> 00:01:51,545
As this is the first time I'm connecting
to the remote computer, it doesn't know the

21
00:01:51,545 --> 00:01:56,980
remote computer identity. So I need to
click Accept to accept the SSH key material.

22
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,939
And then I have my login
prompt and in my login prompt I'm

23
00:02:01,939 --> 00:02:06,400
typing my password. And Mobile Extorm
can catch this password. That is convenient.

24
00:02:07,019 --> 00:02:09,340
So do with it
whatever you want to do.

25
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,039
And if you don't want to
catch it, that is fine as well.

26
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:18,763
I'm in my remote computer now and
that is what matters. So that means

27
00:02:18,763 --> 00:02:23,926
that from Windows interface I have full
access to the Linux environment. This is

28
00:02:23,926 --> 00:02:29,090
how I recommend you use Linux if
you want to connect to it remotely.

29
00:02:30,569 --> 00:02:35,949
Mobile Extrum for remote connections, Virtual
machine for the most direct experience.

30
00:02:36,909 --> 00:02:42,599
And if you really cannot or do not want
to do anything else, WSL is possible as well.
