Phoronix has an article up about some interesting ideas of Lennart Poettering about what could be a possible future for Linux:
Lennart Poettering of systemd and PulseAudio fame has published a lengthy blog post that shares his vision for how he wishes to change how Linux software systems are put together to address a wide variety of issues. The Btrfs file-system and systemd play big roles with his new vision. Long story short, Lennart is trying to tackle how Linux distributions and software systems themselves are assembled to improve security, deal with the challenges of upstream software vendors integrating into many different distributions, and "the classic Linux distribution scheme is frequently not what end users want."

Can anyone remember when the times were not hard, and money not scarce?

Somewhat ironic, given that at the same time the cloud is all the rage ...

Yeah, I considered going into that but didn't want to stray too far from the point. The cloud thing could be the first push back into the multi-user part of the cycle again, being another step toward a repeat of the thin-client model. If that's the case, it'll be funny if people like Poettering finish gutting the multi-user parts just in time for multi-user designs to become en vogue again.
