[Gllug] Bringing home the revolution

[Adrian McMenamin]

As (most of us) are off work for a few days I thought I'd ask a general 
question or two.


1. When will the big breakthough come? Is it here already (servers) and we 
should stop worrying about desktops?

2. Does it matter anyway - would a world without MS be a better place or not?


From my personal pov I think we are still too surrounded in mystery, too 
offten thought of as CLI freaks. Where I work the sysadmin runs a Windows 
network, and he's quite good at it - but he's resistant to the way I have 
brought a couple of 'nix servers (reusing old hardware, so costing little but 
my time), because he thinks it's a far more "difficult" technology and what 
if I feel under a bus ---- who would handle the squid server then?

Of course, a lot of this is tied up in the whole hacker culture thing. Linux 
is fun after all and we are deliberately counter cultural....
