and this is not preventing an operating systems from having even more rich graphics and still use remote desktop connections? i don't share your concerns.. because we're talking about different terms of use. for desktop applications we need a modern rich graphics and eye candy. this not a question. for servers you can live perfectly with command-line tools only, and pharoers also working in that direction.. so it is not an exclusive choice where you should pick between one over another. you can have both: minimal memory footprint on server(s) and decent graphics on desktop. i am talking about modular system, where you can (un)load modules at your please, and we're moving towards it. > Norbert > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
