Umax was eating their lunch because they made a shaky Apple clone at a low price. Wisely, (I think) they pulled the plug on that idea. I'd go a slightly different direction and license their server product on generic x86 server hardware sans their desktop. (use KDE/Gnome/whatever) Good, high-margin revenue and BSD security. I don't know why they wouldn't. hey tried licensing to OEM's years ago. Umax was eating their lunch because they made a shaky Apple clone at a low price.
