eyeOS: Your Own Private Linux Cloud that You Control (part 1)

“One of the points behind Web OSs is to relieve the local
computer of the work; to put the computing power behind a central
server. It’s virtualization over the Internet. The client or end
user computers don’t have to be regularly maintained; they just
need a Web browser. For example, applications can be globally
installed or uninstalled from the Web OS server instead of on each
PC. Web OSs also has advantages for the mobile worker. You don’t
have to setup remote desktop connections. Web OSs already live on
the Internet. You can log into your desktop at home, work, or on
the road. Features of eyeOS We’re going to set up eyeOS (see Figure
1), an open source Web OS. Before you install the server, you can
experiment by creating an account on their demo server. In addition
to the desktop environment, eyeOS includes over 60 applications and
utilities. If you’re proficient in PHP, XML, or Javascript, you
might even be interested in writing your own applications for the
platform.
