  Hum, very probable, if someone has such a box it would be interesting
to check what's running in, the hardware is probably generic, that could
easilly be found either by shell access or by using a screwdriver (wondering
about the amount of RAM ;-)
 And for the software either they explicitely tell what's running or
some probing could get it too (TCP/IP stack handling signature for the
OS and playing with extensions support and other stuff to guess the 
XML stack). 
  Just curious, the price compared to a 1u PeeCee with extension NIC board
would be another interesting data point, more than the color or the weight...
