One of these days we'll have fast enough Internet speeds in the U.S. that remote VMs will work (nicely). We're definitely not there yet.

- debaserab2 10y agoEvery cloud provider is essentially providing a remote vm. Been working great for me for the past 10 years.
- RussianCow 10y agoI think the parent means graphical VM.
- base 10y agoIn my university we have been using remote VMs with a GUI (e.g. Windows) for more than 10 years. We need to this with several softwares due to license restrictions.
- sbierwagen 10y agoWhat, you've never sshed into a remote machine?
- beachstartup 10y agoi think this thread is separating the beginners from the veterans.
- softawre 10y agoI think what the GP was talking about is more like RDP for a development environment.
- beachstartup 10y agoyeah sure, vnc. which works fine over the internet. it even works fine over ssh, over vpn, over the internet, over 3g, in an airplane! it's turtles all the way down.
- benologist 10y agoThe nicest thing about Cloud9 is being open source you can install it on your own hardware so those VMs don't have to be remote.
- nocman 10y agoUnless something has changed since last year, it is not truly "open source" if you're going by the Open Source Initiative's definition of "open source". Evidently there are a number of restrictions placed on the source code that prevent this from being the case. There was a Reddit discussion about it at the time: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2vvs7i/cloud9_web_based_ide_v30_now_open_source/ https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2vvs7i/cloud9_...
- benologist 10y agoIt is most definitely open source it is just not unconditional, maybe that will change now. https://github.com/c9/core https://github.com/c9/core
