#change init sequence to not switch width Within Cygwin screenis an optional package and you can run their setup program to search and install it. I think the initial Cygwin install required admin privileges, but once installed to run it does not. So I thought back to my days as a Cygwin user those many years ago… Could I get GNU screen running within Cygwin environment on Windows 10? Well, yes, I can with just a few tweaks.

And things like bash shell, ubuntu and OpenUSE Linux are available from the windows store. WSL, windows subsystem for Linux, is all about that. Windows 10 is coming around to more fully integrating with Linux! it’s about time. For me this would be running GNU screen as a terminal multiplexer since I hop between terminal screens all day. Since my laptop has firewall access to all the same servers I wondered if I could build up a productive environment right within Windows 10 on my own laptop. A jump server is a server from which you launch CLI terminal sessions into your linux servers. My jump server is getting old and they’re threatening to cut it off.
