I believe most of the effort make this happen lies with Microsoft - it is their product after all. WSL under the covers is Hyper-V which supports FreeBSD pretty well. I believe most of the work would be on the Windows side to get the plumbing in place to spin up a FreeBSD VM. There are open discussions on the WSL github system where people have asked for this but it has not gained much traction by Microsoft. -p -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
