As someone who has been working with them on pushing this live for the last 6 months I can tell you, we're all very excited to finally push this public preview

I can still remember an old conference when Microsoft bragged that running windows-only allowed them to remove 20-30% of the Sybase code base as they didn't need the cross-platform cruft.

It would be interesting to see how they code for cross platform portability now.

Microsoft has created an apt repository for Ubuntu. That's really nice.

Looks like there are some (most?) unsupported features external to core DB engine ATM (replication, mirroring, agent, SSIS etc. ), but documentation says "The support of these features will be increasingly enabled during the monthly updates cadence of the preview program". Nice.

Thanks! I wanted to checkout the Dockerfile for the container but by the looks of it, it was not published?

sudo apt install mssql-server felt really weird. Oddly a much nicer install process than the last time I installed MSSQL server on Windows(which was admittedly a log time ago, and it could be better now).
