Granted, a shuttle will require you to load an operating system.
But if it saves several houndred pounds, I'd take the sacrafice!
Especially as it doesn't look like this system allows you set raid-1 the drives.
i'm all for experimental distros that push innovation forwards - take the boot-from-cd version as an example - but Linux will suffer if the supple stagnates with very similar distros - for one thing talent and support is more sparsely spread between the communities...
Which is why I wonder: this distro sounds a lot like a user centric version of Debian. Same package management, no compiling, pretty damn fast.
So remind me. Why was it ever created in the first place, as opposed to the developers working on e.g. an install script that configures a Debian box for Joe public?
And why compare it to Gentoo?

most users will have the same user/pass combination for most if not all their logins anyway.
I don't see how this offers *any* less security.
