@nyanbinary just skip to the end boss and run Server Core. You get all the usability of the Linux command line with all of the powerful shell features of the Windows Command Processor.

@nyanbinary In the late 90s I installed 386BSD on my 486. Predictably I botched it and messed up my DOS partition. I spent a whole afternoon playing feed-the-floppy and getting my data off the drive so I could safely repartition and reinstall. I have felt it. I don’t need to feel it again.
