    Gig Wireless came out but GigE switches became ubiquitous. So my guess is that this will drive 10GigE adoption even faster. Wireless has low reliability and high latency, the people who want 10Gb/s networking casually will go wireless and those that want it rock solid will go wired. I'm guessing this will drive more applications to leverage it and push adoption faster.

    Actually, of these, the only ones that I really like are Solaris and Java. And even Linus points out that he only dislikes Solaris not because it is bad but because it is his competitor.

    I think it might be the secret, primary use case of the tablet. I wonder how many talks at Apple involved bringing up that use case as to why there is no stylus on their smaller iPads!

    It works pretty good. The colors are awful to me, lol... So I'm going to figure out how to tweak the theme a tad. VIM status line is nice, as-is the screen and tmux status lines as well.

    On this note, I am with @Dashrender as you have to plan ahead with credentials or SSH keys in *nix and in Windows you plan ahead with AD or local accounts. Either way this one is a wash not a savings.

    Having done both, I would call it a pretty big savings. No extra infrastructure, effectively no management.

    That is pretty awesome! A great starter setup to a self made entertainment center for the car. I've done no research - it would be cool to add a cellular network connection to the mix too.
