What Linux Will Look Like In 2012

Linked by Amjith Ramanujam on Fri 15th Aug 2008 05:18 UTC

InformationWeek is speculating on how Linux will change in the next four years. "By 2012 the OS will have matured into three basic usage models. Web-based apps rule, virtualization is a breeze, and command-line hacking for basic system configuration is a thing of the past."

Opera? I was talking about firefox. I don't see any firefox.deb
Why wouldn't firefox come in a .deb format?
Why are there so many for Opera listed? I would have expected 2 links: Opera.deb and Opera.rpm and not the 5 zillion Operas for every imaginable distro

The reason why Mozilla doesnt list rpms is because its the default browser for rpm based distros. Its already in there.Same for most distros I would think. Actually now that I check, they offer a tar bzipped file that should install on any distro.
