roscore will not load linux on windows
When I try to launch roscore on the new windows linux subsystem (anniversary update feature). I get this series of errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):

for iface in netifaces.interfaces():

I have never used ros before, and still being in high-school, I am not too sure what needs fixing. If anyone has an idea, that would be helpful.

There have been a few questions about this before. Short answer is that it doesn't work very well: http://answers.ros.org/question/238646/installing-ros-on-ubuntu-bash-in-windows-10/

@ahendrix is correct: right now, I wouldn't bother with ROS on WSL. Things might improve in the (near) future though (see Microsoft/BashOnWindows#468 fi).
