It is really so funny - watching other people trying desperately to grind their squared concrete blocks on their car axle into a roughly round shape .. when they could simply use modern wheels Again and again I get delegations marvelling at how I have been linking surgery, nursing home, hosital and home togeher and how I seamlessly can use *any* application on *any* computer from *any* other computer, and print from any such session on any printer within the network etc. And everything secure, via ssh tunneling, without need of any man in the middle - in fact, without even needing to install let alone to purchase *any* software - just grab any modern all-purpose Linux distro, and you have everything you need to do that. In fact, jaws hit painfully metatarsals when I can just grab a laptop from a visitor, plug in a network cable, plug in a printer cable, put in a CD, boot from it - and 2-3 minutes later I am working on *THEIR* laptop writing my progress notes ... You simply cannot make a network operating system out of something that was always designed primarily with a single desktop user in mind. But nowadays mobile information society needs networking operating systems and distributed services more than ever.
