Well when the X people say there is a limit to what X can do over a network reasonably and that a different approach is needed then maybe just maybe they know what they are talking about. Jeez. its not like people are taking X away tomorrow. Nor are they saying X is going away just that the monolithic nature it was designed around does not make sense anymore and changes need to be done. But hey.. it is fun to be the guy who yells "They will take X away from me when they can pry it from my cold dead hand!" I wonder if "X doesn't kill people, I do." sounds as good.. nah.. > Rich. > > -- > Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones > virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
