It doesn't look like it's meant to be a GUI based web server like the
RaQ. It looks more like it's meant to be used to manage other servers
and applications.

A quick look at the site:

 Live Broadcast Tuesday, 13 Aug 2002 - 11:00am PDT: Scott McNealy
Keynote at LinuxWorld
http://wwws.sun.com/software/linux/ Nice to see broke links to Sun LX50
on that page.
No demo, (except some annoying Flash nonsense full of text), or in the
quick look I gave it could I find any GUI information. As the GUI is one
of the main features/benefits of the RaQ, I can't find any info on this
for the LX50. Maybe they expect this to be for the Linux gurus or
they'll offer Webmin for it.
Looks like not all the info is there yet. Their "Server Comparison" link
doesn't list the LX50 for comparison.
