Think I was trying to say was that when I in India 1975-1998 (especially), the x.11-25 transition set the tone for PKI. The RS-232 drivers for Linux devices before the OS was introduced had few takers because SAN's seemed expensive although completely acceptable. That was only after the "adaptive networking" (Bay Networks) and the "network is the computer"(Sun Micro). When running the VT-100 emulation, there were no real problems and then was asked to use 220 instead. Thought 3270 more reliable depending on what's involved, however switching on a little transistor radio would still impact a wireless content browsing connection(non-audio only). If there are only two bootloaders for Linux, (www.distrowatch.com), would repository formats have to differ much, meaning the more streamlining where possible, would help with centralisation and cost-calibration(Yukon Huong's talk at KZbin recently). If education is to be a priority, decision-making would need to be easier for the not-so-technical. Under-developed economies can't afford to pay for expensive computers (re-cycling and code-reuse(SEI-CMM))and exhorbidant connectivity, So centralised storage, with a default option to back-up for distributed nodes obviously. Metadirectory standards, hopefully not all in private hands, would help with credibility. Procurement policies could define specific models and brands which would default to secure privacy intensive variants for content access. Just thoughts currently, not in a good space personally, need time off for awhile
