And include GPS. Which wouldn't be of much use unless one is running an X-Window server on the Windows side (Xming or similar). The Linux SubSystem for Windows is essentially just a BASH shell console. (Doing apt-get install gnat-gps in the Debian SubSystem console -- installs GNAT 6.3 (or is it 6.1 -- that's what apt-get shows) and a slew of other stuff) wulfraed@ElusiveUnicorn:~$ gnatls -v GNATLS 6.3.0 Copyright (C) 1997-2016, Free Software Foundation, Inc.
