      So, would this make things a tad easier for a Windows-centric Admin, to manage a Linux machine?

        More the other way around, for now. Linux people will have more access to Windows-access tools. But eventually, I'm sure PS will become fully functional on Linux making that easier, too.

          This is part of a pattern. First you had the integration of BASH with Windows, then the porting of OpenSSH to Windows, and now Powershell for Linux. Microsoft has realized that there is zero money to be made in client sales, and is trying to become as platform agnostic as possible.

            It's the only smart thing for them to do.

              This qualifies as pretty much epic. And they committed to OpenSSH integration down the road. That's going to be amazing. They have OpenSSH working now, but it isn't a native PS transport yet. That's the big deal in the future.

                      Doesn't connect yet, have to wait on the OpenSSH integration.

                            Also installed Nextcloud 10 RC1 on CentOS VM. Working well.

                              I'm still excited about PowerShell for Linux. Once they get most of the windows modules ported, or at least to where we can manage a Windows system with it, this will be super awesome.

                                Only thing needed is the OpenSSH integration, most likely, and we will be good to go.

                                  Being able to automate tasks will be much easier with OpenSSH. PS-Remoting is nice but requires some kind of blood sacrifice to get working reliably over different networks.

                                    LOL. How many decades did it take for Microsoft to realize they aren't smarter than the rest of the world combined? smh

                                      They always knew, Ballmer just didn't care.

                                        Prepare for big updates to Asset Management. Wish this was around when I was building ITIS (IT Inventory System) I'd revisit the project, but with so many offerings out there now, it's a flooded market. The implications for ISO QC in calibration labs and the like are titillating.
