[ale] RedHat open sources virtual desktop tool SPICE

[Jim Kinney]

These guys never cease to amaze me. They go out and spend cash to buy
Qumranet (

and then make the product freely available:

This is THE tool needed for thin clients!! Basically by running a super slim
flashRAM linux distro on boot up then SPICE starts on top from the server.
It supports streaming video/audio with syncronized audio to video.

Granted _my_ desktop has been 100% Linux since 1997 but this will make large
scale corporate adoption of Linux on the desktop easier to handle. drop on a
client and run the app -> <POOF> instant Linux box!

If it's not running Linux it's not worth having power!
