OSNews was tipped off that OEone (previous stories: 1, 2, 3), creators of the desktop HomeBase SUITE (based on Linux, X and Mozilla's APIs), now are moving to server space. Next week they are going to announce an exciting new product (under a new brand name: "Axentra Rumba Server") which puts Linux back to the server space, but with the form of a user-friendly and cute-looking appliance. *Updated*

...Or are the companies nowadays really taking the magic out of server administration? What used to take balls the size of pumpkins and real men to admin now takes a few clicks from a braindead college kid.
Where will this end up? Sure enough, it'll end up in the same place it did with Microsoft products - more holes, less patches applied, less people who know what they are doing, less security, less privacy, etc.
This is awfully depressing. I was just about to install Debian on another server. I don't have faith in these "click-for-server" packages.

I'm probably just trolling.
