Perhaps the thing that Linux can offer a developer which is unique is the ability to package an app into a turnkey appliance. Any sort of appliance running on general purpose minimalist hardware, and running something like Slitaz or a stripped down Debian version, and it will be fast, free and stable, and will look to the end user like an appliance. You need so little memory and disk that small solid state drives are quite usable.
The difference getting away from bloatware makes is amazing. I am currently running Debian with xfce and lightdm on an old thinkpad, having banished gnome and kde and all of their works, and boot time is super fast and its super responsive. You can get even faster on even less hardware running slitaz. Worth a thought. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Linux-deployment-never-a-better-time-tp4623849p4624591.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
