For a regular box, no. For a toaster, possibly. There's an emerging market in rack mountable httpd/ftpd-toasters. I know of one vendor that hacked a NT to death so it doesn't use much in the way of resources and can boot an embedded system. Since we're talking about a standard Intel box whittled down into an embedded system, I wouldn't mind using it if I knew it was something like PicoBSD inside. :-) Expecting any toaster to support a web interface so you can config it from any box on the network isn't asking too much these days. (Now let's not pick nits about who's using a toaster and who has a keyboard and monitor port.) -- Adam.
