This server doesn't have any ease of use or ease of configuration
features.  It's operating system is NOT open source.  It doesn't have a
built-in gui, so initial setup is best left to experienced
administrators, and you can't give your users any self-administration
through gui features unless you implement another solution.  It also
needs you to create a special cat-5 cable (none is included) to connect
your terminal before you can even configure it.

Don't get me wrong, it's a really awesome system, and an extremely good
value.  It's just NOT for the majority of us Cobalt users.
