Yeppers. I have a 4000.

Nope.. Currently, BSD. In April they purchased a company that would lead
to SnapOS being replaced with a Linux based kernel.

Yes, it does, but it will do so via TCP/IP. So the USB has to be IP aware.

I haven't had any issues during failures. It's a GREAT little box..

The *ONLY* concern I've had with it is ease of subverting security.
Primarily, reseting the admin password is as easy as pushing a little button
with a pencil top, and pushing it again twice, then holding it down. This
resets the admin password.. No way to disable this 'feature'. Not to bad,
but it's a pet peive I guess..
