We’re getting to know about it now! + +![microsoft debian][1] + +Microsoft utilizes Linux for a wide range of its projects. In recent years, you must have read a lot about WSL (or WSL2) and a Linux distribution made by Microsoft, i.e., **CBL (Common Base Linux) Mariner**. + +Even with Windows 11, Microsoft keeps improving the experience with [WSL][2]. + +While CBL Mariner is used to power WSLg (the GUI part of WSL 2) and Azure, some recent press coverage (via [ZDNet][3]) uncovered another Linux distribution that Microsoft uses internally. + +Microsoft sure loves Linux, right? + +### CBL-Delridge: A Debian-based Linux distro + +![][4] + +Microsoft maintains a Debian-based distro, which is used to power Azure’s Cloud Shell. And it goes by the name “**CBL-Delridge**“. + +Thanks to [Hayden Barnes][5], a senior engineering manager responsible for Windows containers at SUSE. + +In one of his [older blog posts][6] in February 2022. He revealed more details about it while helping you build it and import it into WSL if required. + +CBL-Delridge (CBL-D) is based on Debian 10 (Buster), unlike CBL-Mariner, built from scratch. + +Not a surprise to see Debian being favored here. Even [Google ditched Ubuntu for Debian][7] for its in-house Linux distro gLinux. + +Interestingly, Microsoft published the distro in 2020 for internal use (as per an [unofficial timeline of Microsoft’s open-source interactions][8] maintained by Hayden), and we’re getting to know about it in 2022. + +![][9] + +The CBL-Delridge also utilizes the same version number 10 (coincidentally) with the codename “Quinault.” Breaking down the name, ZDNet notes that Delridge is a district in West Seattle, and Quinault refers to a valley in the Olympic National Park in Washington State. + +### Building CBL-Delridge + +Unlike normal Linux distributions, you won’t find an image file to download publicly. + +Considering the apt package repositories for CBL-D are public, you can build your image of CBL-D if you need to test it for any of your relevant requirements. + +You can also import it into WSL. [Hayden’s blog post][10] explains using debootstrap to get started building the image and then importing it to WSL. + +Note that the CBL-D is not exactly a replacement for Debian. So, you may not be able to find all your favorite packages. To know more about it, you can explore Hayden’s blog post. + +What do you think about Microsoft’s Linux distributions for internal use? Have you tried any of them yet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/microsoft-debian-distro/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/microsoft-new-debian-based-linux-distro.jpg +[2]: https://news.itsfoss.com/windows-11-wsl/ +[3]: https://www.zdnet.com/article/surprise-theres-yet-another-microsoft-linux-distro-cbl-delridge/ +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/azure-delridge.png +[5]: https://twitter.com/unixterminal +[6]: https://boxofcables.dev/building-cbl-d-microsofts-other-linux-distro/ +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/goobuntu-glinux-google/ +[8]: https://github.com/sirredbeard/microsoft-opensource +[9]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/wsl-cbl-delridge-1024x600.png +[10]: https://boxofcables.dev/building-cbl-d-microsofts-other-linux-distro/
