Why Do Workstations No Longer Matter?
,----[ Quote ]
| Due to the change of the working environment workstations are not
| the right tool to do the job anymore. They are too expensive, can
| be used only by single user, the data amount is too large to be
| downloaded and processed. Better solution is to leave the data on
| server and send them through fast network on computing grid. As
| control station either a terminal or a notebook can be used... Linux's
| advantage is, that it is flexible enough to be used as serverOS and on
| desktop.
