Do you know what the most common cause of network outages and performance problems is? Misconfiguration. For as much time and energy as people spend talking about issues such as infrastructure and cybercrime, the truth is that basic low-level configuration challenges are still the biggest “threat” to properly-functioning networks.

Forced to let millions of employees work from home to avoid contagion, companies that had been hesitant about taking this step have concluded they can benefit from moving to a remote workforce.
In the beginning we, as Humanity, created computers. We said “let it be electricity” and it was the light on our ballistic trajectory calculations. We saw the numbers matched and they were good. And we called the set of calculation instructions as “programs”, which were loaded straight into computer memories. And so was the first computing decade. GNU Linux commands didn’t exist yet, because there were no operating systems either.

PuTTY is a free program (MIT license) for x86 and AMD 64 architectures (now in experimental stages for ARM). It was developed in 1997!, by Simon Tatham, a British programmer. In this blog, we have been reviewing this useful program for several years, and even the great Pandora FMS team has confirmed it just now in 2020, in the list of network commands for Microsoft Windows® and GNU/Linux®.

Children would like to be someone with values, like Immanuel Kant, She-Ra or, of course, a high-level hacker who, from the sewers of a suburban pavilion, controls the world with his killer laptop and his hoodie.
Before diving into what WSL2 is, how to install it, and how to use it – which we will – I would like to add some background information you might relate to if you were born in the 80s like me. From a very young age I have felt attracted to computers, and in my childhood they were not as common as they are today, when almost everyone has one within reach.
