One of my IT counterparts at another location in my company claims that he loaded Ubuntu Linux on his snap server because he was unsatisfied with SnapOS. He never built a web interface, so it was all command line. He claims you can install it on embedded devices. Has anyone else tried this? I don't dare mess with either of my two production servers.
Here's a transcript of what he said to me via email.

I so unhappy w/ SnapOS.... I loaded Ubuntu Linux on it instead.
You can flash linux on any embedded device. You may have to solder the TSOP to open the bridge to the flash ram... I didn't have to on my 4200.
I do have more options, but I'm limited to the size of the flash mem. It was merely a project I started awhile back, so I never did a nice web interface... it's all shell(like dos prompt). I use linux on a daily basis, so I more comfortable w/ shell sceens.
I mainly wanted it to have AD support. Samba fixed this prob, so when password change it's changed as well.
