This is a great video covering the story on the company, who build this server and an early example of using Linux for web hosting!

Thanks for mentioning, that is our video and this raq talked about here is one we restored :)

I remember the Cobalt Cube. It was used for one of the first public demonstrations of SELinux released by the NSA. They gave everyone on the internet root that was under a restrictive MLS policy. That little machine handled a large number of people ssh'ing into it none of whom believed they were really logged in as root. I regret never buying one of those little servers.
