Hello,
I just saw this posted on Slashdot:
http://www.osopinion.com/Opinions/JohnZedlewski/JohnZedlewski1.html
Okay, it's Red-Hat Specific, but there are many interesting ideas.
Especially this, where it describes what I'm up to:
"Last, but not least, what will you be selling two years from now? The
answer, I think is clear: integrated solutions (buzzword buzzword). Your
new Red Hat e-commerce server is a nice start in this direction, but it
still falls into the Linux trap: assuming the customer can do it for
him/herself."
Now, in addition to making a big package for every user, why not focus
on some integrated solutions for specific customers? The Corel Netwinder
is an example, as is the Wyse Linux Terminal or the Empeg, or the Helius
Satellite Router. Here are some of the solutions I'm currently working
on:
- ISP-in-a-box
- Extranet server
- Linux in Internet Kiosk
Maybe we can package Linux in other ways:
- Cheap Home Computer without Windows
- Internet Telephony appliance
- Home entertainment center
- Medical Applications
- Point-of-sale applications
etc...
Give me your toughts/suggestions/flames about this.
