Would be interesting to see what approach Plan9 operating system took,
since it was inspired by oberon but also inspired by unix. I have a hunch
that somehow they managed to make the command line still available in
plan9 but I haven't used it to know.
I'm still curious how one would manage an oberon web server from afar,
such as if you were in a different country, and had to log in to your
computer remotely from 2500 miles away... do you do something like X11 and
have a remote GUI session, or I guess maybe oberon operating systems
haven't hit this speed bump yet... or no one has come across that problem
yet..
You either have to remotely log in to a gui and send all the gui details
over tcp/ip, or you just send commands/text over tcp/ip which is much more
bandwidth efficient. i.e. ssh/telnet
