"Mike." <the.lists@mgm51.com>, 2011-07-19 20:52 (+0200): > Perhaps the real question should be - how much longer will the desktop > be relevant? I think it depends on what you mean by desktop. Traditional heavy PCs might begin to disappear but people using mobile devices such as smartphones might want to connect their devices to better monitors and (better) keyboards. That's sort of a desktop. In a business setting I can't see the desktop disappearing either. However, there are chances that we're moving towards even more thin client solutions. I think FreeBSD and Linux will power both ends, both clients and servers, in this scenario. -- http://hack.org/mc/ Use plain text e-mail, please. OpenPGP welcome, 0xE4C92FA5.
