Thanks for the comments. I didn't mean to start a minor war on packaging but
there we go.....
Actually the packaging is more in my favour than against in this situation.
Personally I would buy rackmount gear in boring old cream, but these would
be for customers who expect a flashy box running NT. The Cube is nice, small
and pretty and would probably be mounted in a conspicuous place, not shoved
in a cupboard. Of course that's a total joke if it runs unmaintainable crap
- I would be a sysadmin by telephone.
I personally see it as a great backdoor trick for getting Linux out there.
