It appears that MTASolutions has migrated from win2k servers to
on of the cobalt cubes. It 'is' running some type of linux
as far as I know. And it uses a 'very' user-friendly interface
from what I hear. My partner has worked more closely with the
MTASolutions people lately, so perhaps he'll have more to
say ..... From what I know, it works very well for those
folks (who aren't exactly linux gurus)
