Re:Microsoft Adds an OpenSSH Client to Windows 10 on Tuesday December 12, 2017 @04:36PM (#15909744)
We just released a tool to do the right path translation -- wslpath. Unfortunately we haven't added built in usage info yet. Here's a link[1] to usage info in recent Windows Insider flights.

Also, totally fair feedback about the naming. In FCU, we added wsl.exe in addition to bash.exe. It launches into your default shell rather than /bin/bash.

We're working on improving integration between Windows and Linux distros on WSL. Stay tuned for progress. The release notes on the WSL doc site [1] are basically our changelog. Highly recommended for the latest updates.

Full disclosure, I work at Microsoft on WSL.

Confirming nginx works in Windows -- nginx for our QuickStart guides: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowsconta...

IIS is great too and in-box. It's nice having smart defaults but a lot of options.

Bingo.
Don’t worry. This is an early build and you’ll see things get smaller in future updates :).
