With new generation of Debian/UBUNTU GNU/Linux switches, coming with full sources for #SDN <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/sdn?source=feed_text&story_id=10203152126003649> (Software Defined Networking). After #Snowden <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/snowden?source=feed_text&story_id=10203152126003649> / #NSA <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/nsa?source=feed_text&story_id=10203152126003649> revelations nobody in the world is buying U.S. closed software/hardware any longer. Large parts of Linux now run on ultra fast, freely programmable ASICs, being able to completely replace CISCO greenware. But not only that. You now can run your UBUNTU "Snappy" containers directly on your switches. No more dedicated servers. Oops?
