The point of having a Linux based appliance is you don't have to tinker with program like msconfig to get the system to run fast and reliable. When you think about a Linux appliance thing about your Linksys home router (Linux based). A small Windows machine would make a great router using internet home sharing. But why would you want to mess with that when there are dedicated Linux appliances like a Linksys router that are much easier to set up and use. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover artÂ… All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91992
