Subject: sun-cobalt and other Linux appliance servers

I have a client who has been happily using a cobalt qube to serve up email
for about 20-30 people. He is very happy with the way it has performed
(pretty much "set it and forget it") for the past 4 or 5 years. He wants to
upgrade to another qube, but judging from the sun micro site, the latest
greatest qube is the qube3, which came out 2 years ago. Now it looks like
they are pushing a 1U intel box that runs "Sun Linux 5.0".
My question: Has anyone had good experiences with a Linux appliance that
will allow the client to web-manage, do firewalling, and have webmail? I
realize I could "roll my own" with webmin, squirrel-mail, sendmail, qpopper,
etc. but I am more interested in an "out-of-the-box" solution like the qube
since that has worked well for him. Any thoughts on the Sun products?
others?
