Not a strawman. This one comes from a university group who would like to offer a cloud desktop system to each user. Right now done with a shared system with NX, but it's planned to give per-student machines with full root access using OpenStack. In that case, they can easily build their own images, and it's me speculating that it'd be useful to provide a more complete base image. However, I also can see, in the future, a "try Fedora desktop in the cloud" web page, with an big shiny launch button and automatic connection via noVNC. Here, there's plenty of sense in making it look as much like the desktop spin as possible, as that's the point. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
