Cue MJR's "appliance rant #1".
OTOH, not every "appliance" product runs Linux,
and not every "appliance" is a PC with fancy stickers,
there are a few good products based on ASICs.
And there are products like Intrushield, which are known to
use Linux/LGPL code and also boast about the high
performance of "ASIC based appliance" IPS.
