Though because Kace is appliance based, Dell only has to make it work on a few Dell servers. It actually surprises me when people choose GPL-based Operating Systems for appliances over the BSD Licensed software. It seems like such a licensing issue to sell an appliance with a GPL product when an OS that is just as good or better is free of those licensing issues.
