- 9. First Linux distribution . . .
- 10. Or maybe this . . . Cloud version 0
- 11. Wrapped in this . . .
- 12. A bunch of these . . .
- 13. Or just one of these . . .
- 14. Or usually this . . . Cloud version 0.5
- 15. But what about this?
- 16. Or this?

- 26. The Linux Desktop Where does this leave Linux distributors?
- 27. Problems The server-side software is not “free”. The hosting is not “free”. Little/no control over data. No “open-source” community.
- 28. Ways Forward Need more “free” web services. Need “free” hosting model. Need data access/protection model. Rethinking licensing, freedom.
- 29. Ways Forward Need more “free” web services. Identi.ca, OpenStreetMap, ownCloud, . . . Need “free” hosting model. Need data access/protection model. Rethinking licensing, freedom.
