Hi > IMO, the IT world is in a major transition period
Actually I think we're in a major cloud-bloviation period. Sure it has its place but I expect it to be a parallel option to desktops, not a replacement. It's a kind of IT Lite for those with several lightweight devices who don't really need the power of a modern computer. There are always going to be security issues handing your data over to someone else and of course the obvious one of how do you get any work done when the network is down. Desktops are cheap and highly modifiable and will last for as long as people have desks to put them on. Noel PS: for a highly tweakable system with an excellent package manager I recommend gentoo and http://www.aperiplus.co.uk/downloads/gentool.htm. Bootable backups take all the pain out of upgrades. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
