LBW: Linux Binaries on Windows

run your Linux software on Windows

LBW is an ELF binary loader and Linux system call translator for Windows. It allows you to run unmodified Linux applications on top of Windows.

It's currently in a very early stage, and is in no way suitable for doing real work on as it's full of bugs. On the other hand it's adequate for running a Debian chroot, downloading and installing packages with apt and dpkg, compiling and running programs with gcc, connecting to remote servers with ssh, and even running some basic X applications.

Everybody loves screenshots:
