Aim for device drivers & servers that can interact as client & server pairs over tcp/ip, Examples: /usr/ports/graphics/xsane http://www.xsane.org/ /usr/ports/sysutils/nut http://www.networkupstools.org/ X windows split screens & client proceses. & try to avoid neeeding to have to run specific programs only on the host connected to the device. > Am I clear enough ? ( sorry English is not my native language ...) Non native English is not the cause of misunderstanding :-) Misunderstanding comes from expecting technolgists to derive much if anything from the Marketer/ Salesman / Manager promoted phrase "Cloud Computing", which I've found so far carries nothing new, for those who've already been working in distributed Unix environments.
