That is _the_ standard hardware from the VB people. So the "Linux-based appliance" description is apt and your non-standard hardware argument is a red herring in this particular case. Second, there is absolutely no code being edited or written in the post that you link to. Yes, there are some commands being given at the command line. That may scare some people, but there's no point in exaggerating and calling it "writing/editing code".
