The cloudkey is a device that one purchases and runs the same management software, on your network, rather than installing the software onto a Linux server...it's literally the difference between an ethernet connected (and powered, if you have a PoE switch) device running the software or running it on a full fledged computer. There's no giving of the maintenance to someone else's hands. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org "It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
