Hi all,
Following our recent discussions about various ways of sharing the
display amongst logins, I thought Jim Getty's talk at OLS was
interesting.
He goes a lot further than I was suggesting, but I couldn't help but
think how much easier the things he was proposing would be, if he
could think outside the "X box" (and no, I don't mean the games
machine :-), and base the infrastructure on Plan 9!
Perhaps if Plan 9 were shown to trivially do these things (without,
for example, having to put user identities and SELiniux-like
facilities into the X server! Yes, really! Yuk!), it would be
(another) example of Plan 9's superiority.
The talk is at:
