Avocent - SwitchView 100 4-port PS/2 KVM Switch

| You might have noticed that some consumer KVM's have little Linux Friendly 
| stickers on them...this has been because el'cheapo KVM's have typically not 
| answered back in a timely manner when Linux asks what kind of 
| Keyboard+Mouse+Monitor is attached. Many Linux distros have a failsafe in 
| that like the Sun Sparc's of old, they will automagically add a serial 
| console device if it can't detect a keyboard on the box.

| The web interface is well designed and easy to use,
| and client support is as good as the Windows-based
| alternatives. The 520 can serve up storage to Windows,
| Unix, Linux and Mac clients if required.

Fast five-drive NAS box fills more storage gaps 

,----[ Quote ]
| Last up, one pat on the back to Thecus. All of their devices run Linux,
| and Thecus is being a very good corporate citizens about their use of
| GPL'd code. Normally, you only hear about people violating the GPL or
| have to search their site for a buried link to the source.
| 
| With Thecus, the opposite is true. They put the code on their main
| page, usually right next to the firmware updates themselves. I actually
| saw the code before I realized what it was, quite an unusual situation. 
| It was a case of me scratching my head wondering what the .GPL extension
| was before it dawned on me. Again well done.
