yes, it is supposed to be, and for some (many) it may be. But in the end, it is Linux, and a very specific version of Linux without the full GUI most distros of Linux have today. So if you have any issues you start needing to use Putty to login and write command line code.
I switched over my WHS system to Vortexbox about a week ago.Had several issues with SBS not working correctly, and the backup function not working. All were resolved, with reinstalls/updates, help from the VB forum, and some logins and code writing with Putty. Definitely not for the true novice. If it works great for you, I'm happy. But just take a brief stroll through the VB forum and you'll see all the answers that say, "logon to your VB server (putty) and use the following code..." And just as a side comment, Logitech support doesn't support installs of SBS on Linux boxes (even though SBS works fine on it). They politely told me so and refused to help when my VB had a problem with some of the functionality of the SBS not working. BTW, now that I have everything working, I'm happy with VB and plan to keep using it. The SBS web interface and my Touch work just as they did with SBS on Windows.
