But they do exactly what you need.  I doubt that you can
build the same functionality with Linux.  BTW, I never use
the GUI.  I just log into them with ssh; works perfectly
fine.  It's only seldomly required anyway, once the boxes
are set up and running.

BTW, as far as I know, they run a BSD-derived embedded OS
(with micro kernel?), so there's at least a little bit of
BSD in that "blackbox".  ;-)
