I doubt that you can build the same functionality with Linux. BTW, I never use the GUI. I just log into them with ssh; works perfectly fine. It's only seldomly required anyway, once the boxes are set up and running. BTW, as far as I know, they run a BSD-derived embedded OS (with micro kernel?), so there's at least a little bit of BSD in that "blackbox". ;-) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
