The current issue (Nov. 1) of Forbes has an article in it that
mentions OpenBSD as being the basis of a product line for a
startup called LokTek based in Florida. I thought it was pretty cool that
you can find OpenBSD mentioned even in places like
Forbes now. There is an online version of
the article... free after registration, blah.
The mention is on page 2 of the online version:

To anyone who would knock someone else down because "it's just a web interface on top of X"... you are forgetting how most people want things to work... give them a visual guide, clear instructions, simplicity, and "it just works". That's going to sell a product. If you think that it's easy to do this type of thing, where is your product? Where is your company?
Yes, there is some flamebait in this post, but hopefully it will bring some discussion.

I would consider buying one if my company had a use for it, even though I'm perfectly comfortable with the command line. The way I see it, I could configure it properly myself, and then my non-UNIX co-workers could be trained on how to make small changes in my absence.
I do agree, however, that some of those configuration screens could use a little more thought. I notice that the screen shots someone linked to were done on Safari on OS X, so perhaps he ought to look at how Apple simplifies network configuration for non-expert users. Written setup documentation would also be helpful, and at least one of the screens has a 'read first, configure later' warning on it. Hopefully the docs are decent.
Anyway, more products based on OpenBSD is a good thing, I think. I don't understand the degree of derision in some of these posts, and I really don't see the need for all the course language. It's not like someone is forcing you to buy it.

That must be why Cisco includes a web interface with practically all of their products... They must be amatures!

And IIRC, PIX code has always been LD.
How about someone testing the thing and doing a somewhat scientific analysis, instead of everyone spouting off useless bits of "knowledge"?

1: Mac SMP is awaiting hardware to get going/finished/tested/
2: The 9600 is an old world machine that isn't even offically supported
3: MAC is an acronym for media access control. Mac is short for Macintosh, as in the computer made by Apple.
Sorry for the pissy mood.
