I agree with the tools to connect to the Internet, but plenty of lightweight linux distributions are oput there.

The big get I see is google has put their name on it.

How about you?

If it has Google on it, I avoid it.

Network connectivity is not ubiquitous, constant, or sustained. There are varying mediums, paths, and connection technologies between a distributed node and the central service.

The idea has been around for a looooong time, but w/out reliable network connectivity, it falls short. However, doesn't Google own dark fiber? Might get interesting
