Did you ever notice that the Linux vendors who make these kinds of predictions are the ones that stand to profit the most from the scenario? |

It's a fairytale anyway. I can see appliance-like server OS images becoming popular in small businesses. Point&click install and a no-brainer to maintain. But as soon as you start to grow you can profit a lot from doing it yourself. And really, how much work is it? Modern package management and tools like Debian's tasksel make it dead easy to install a LAMP server, file server, mail server or many other kinds of servers. Two clicks (or one CLI command) to turn a default box into a basic server and after that you can tweak at your hearts content. |
