Producing Fruit
by David on Sunday 27/Jun/2004, @18:12

It seems as though the KDE Debian/UserLinux proposal was not just lip-service then? This is the sort of stuff Enterprizes want to hear, not arguments about licenses and developing proprietary software for free.

Working with Novell Zenworks and distributed VB apps, I certainly know the major problems 'fat' clients can cause - and it's worse than I ever thought possible. Distributing the right DLL versions, ini files, distributing database passwords (encrypted in ini files!) on the client for database access, MDAC components..... That's just the tip of the iceberg. Centralizing this whilst using clients in the correct manner would be a godsend.

This seems to have come along at a very opportune moment. I sincerely wish you all the best at Linuxtag 2004, and let us know the scale of interest. It should be huge.
