There are more options than just Alabanza and VDI's CP. Plesk & Webmin and other forms of wannabe's. Check out this link http://www.psoft.net/ and do a test drive of H-Sphere. A new release is coming out in 2 months time that will also include a mailing list facility. There are other developments going in terms of "ControlPanel" for UNIX/Linux server ;) And also... Cobalt Networks is not the only company in this market, altough first out a few years back there are others that are planning to do the same based on a higher spec 1U machine with it's own CP. Cobalt in it's third generation still lack alot and if they don't do anyhting about that others will catch up :) Great things are coming...
