Looks like it's not a distro of linux per se but a company that sells dedicated linux-based servers, like print servers, NAS servers, firewalls, etc. In essense network appliances. My guess is that that plug into your network, autoconfigure and present a web interface that you can use to configure it just like a switch. Just connect it to you ldap, etc, and you have instant file serving or whatever. They may or may not run their own distro. That is really immaterial. This is probably the future of network appliances and modular server solutions for small businesses. It really doesn't matter to the user what OS it is running because the user doesn't deal directly with it in this application exccept for "firmware upgrades." This is how my cisco wireless solutions engine appliance works. It's really a linux-based dell 1U (oem box). We just interface with its web frontend. Very nice.
