+
+#### Install and setup
+
+Open Powershell in Administrator mode and enable WSL (Needs a computer restart):
+
+```Powershell
+Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
+```
+
+
+Download Ubutnu 16.04 (16.04 has been patched for over a year):
+
+```Powershell
+Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/wsl-ubuntu-1604 -OutFile Ubuntu.appx -UseBasicParsing
+```
+
+Open Powershell in Administrator mode and install the downloaded package:
+
+```Powershell
+Add-AppxPackage .\Ubuntu.appx
+```
+
+Now type the following in on the terminal:
+
+```Powershell
+ubuntu
+
+# Installing, this may take a few minutes...
+```
+
+The first user account you create is automatically (https://aka.ms/wslusers) configured with a few special attributes:
+- It is your default user -- it signs-in automatically on launch.
+- It is Linux administrator (a member of the sudo group) by default.
+Type in a Linux username and password for the user. 
+
+**NOTE:** You will need this password to perform `sudo` commands (dont loose it):
+
+```Bash
+# Installation successful!
+# Please create a default UNIX user account. The username does not need to match your Windows username.
+# For more information visit: https://aka.ms/wslusers
+# Enter new UNIX username:
+
+ubuntu
+
+# Enter new UNIX password:
+password123
+
+# Retype new UNIX password:
+password123
+
+# passwd: password updated successfully
+# Default UNIX user set to: ubuntu
+# To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
+# See "man sudo_root" for details.
+```
+
+Now you are in an ubuntu session:
+
+```
+# ubuntu@windows10:~$
+```
+
+Having to enter a password when executing sudo commands is a pain so lets remove that.
+**Note** that this is based on the default user being named `ubuntu`. 
+
+```Bash
+sudo su
+
+# [sudo] password for ubuntu:
+
+cat<<EOF > /etc/sudoers.d/ubuntu && chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/ubuntu
+ubuntu ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
+EOF
+```
+
+
+#### Managing distro
+
+You can manage the ubutnu instance from a Powershell terminal:
+
+```Powershell
+ubuntu.exe /?
+
+# Launches or configures a linux distribution.
+# 
+# Usage:
+#     <no args>
+#       - Launches the distro's default behavior. By default, this launches your default shell.
+# 
+#     run <command line>
+#       - Run the given command line in that distro, using the default configuration.
+#       - Everything after `run ` is passed to the linux LaunchProcess call.
+# 
+#     config [setting [value]]
+#       - Configure certain settings for this distro.
+#       - Settings are any of the following (by default)
+#         - `--default-user <username>`: Set the default user for this distro to <username>
+# 
+#     clean
+#       - Uninstalls the distro. The appx remains on your machine. This can be
+#         useful for "factory resetting" your instance. This removes the linux
+#         filesystem from the disk, but not the app from your PC, so you don't
+#         need to redownload the entire tar.gz again.
+# 
+#     help
+#       - Print this usage message.
+```
+
+You can also enter an ubuntu shell from other terminal emulators like `Powershell` or `cmd` by typing `ubuntu`:
+
+```Powershell
+ubuntu
+
+# root@windows10:~#
+```
+
+You can also change the default user if you want to change it from your previously created one:
+
+```Powershell
+ubuntu config --default-user ubuntu
+```
